YOUNG people in South Craven and across North Yorkshire have been brought together through art.

Connecting Youth Culture, part of North Yorkshire Education Services, has been working with groups across the county to create artwork.

The finished pieces will be displayed separately at various events before being brought together in an exhibition later this year.

Support for the project was provided by the Police and Crime Commissioner’s community fund.

County Councillor Janet Sanderson, executive member for children’s services, said: “This project brings together young people to celebrate their different cultures and individual identities.

“Through their own creativity, they are producing art that challenges stigma and stereotypes and explores the effects of prejudicial attitudes and actions.”
