The programme's purpose is to deliver confidence, self-belief and essential life and work skills through cultural engagement and making, and serve young people's wellbeing throughout their lives. The Maker Spaces project is key to this.What is a Maker Space?A Maker Space is a place to actively design, test, experiment, explore, build, innovate and collaborate around the making of something. It could be a recording studio or a kitchen, but unlike a regular production space, it is designed to serve the skills development of the participant.Our vision is a vibrant suite of purpose-built spaces co-designed with young people, run by young people, which are places to 'be' (well, safe, prepared) and 'make' that serve young people's wellbeing. The spaces will act as a springboard to their future ambitions. Evidence shows that many young people, notably those impacted by adverse experiences, are often 'gamed-out' of the opportunity to acquire creative skills and creative careers.So, while the solution is simple, the opportunity is significant. While the spaces' core immediate value to young people will be creative and educational, their world is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous - from pandemics and climate change to a challenging economic outlook. The Makers Spaces are designed to deliver the skills and capacities they will need to navigate this world and contribute to the enterprise and entrepreneurialism of Wales.These will be spaces that can captivate the beginner, engage serious talent, and inspire the nation.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=131510.
