Abstract :
The focus of this presentation will be on issues
arising from a three year action research project,
exploring young people’s creative uses of digital
technology, outside of formal education. The
project, based at the University of Central England
in Birmingham, and Jubilee Arts in Sandwell, has
sought to both engage young people in a creative
process, and provide access to digital technology.
The research was formulated as a means of
exploring the ways in which young people might
utilise digital technology creatively, given access,
outside of formal education.
