Welcome to Find Your Talent

Telford & Wrekin was selected as one of the ten Find Your Talent pathfinder programmes areas across England from 141 applications. The programme aims to offer children and young people regular involvement with arts and culture both in and out of school. Find Your Talent is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, Arts Council England and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.

Find your Talent includes giving young people in Telford & Wrekin the chance to perform on stage and attend top quality performances, exhibitions at museums and galleries. It will help them access heritage sites and get hands-on experience of the creative industries including film-making, radio and TV. It will help them express their creative talents, learn a musical instrument, and take part in a musical performance in front of an audience. The programme will enable them to be heard through creative writing and appreciate authors and how they work. They will learn about and practise new media and digital art develop art and craft skills.

The desire to provide this level of cultural opportunity is driven by the desire to see all young people develop their talents to the full. We are in the second year of our three year programme and the projects listed in this section provide snapshots of what Find Your Talent looks like in Telford & Wrekin.
