Comics Youth | Safe Spaces Reclaiming Community Spaces: Applications Open for June – August 2023

Comics Youth are looking for 15 young LGBTQIA+ creatives aged 14-25 to work with a £2,500 budget to plan, host and market a legacy event for your community.

A ‘legacy event’ is a one-off event that builds space for community to thrive, as well as opening up opportunities of change for marginalised people to continue long after the event has finished. Think of activism meeting party planning!

You will have access to a £100 bursary to be paid for your creative outputs around the event AND have the opportunity to be a paid Peer Evaluator of your project.

Whatever event you have in mind to promote community and inclusion within the arts, as well as supporting LGBTQIA+ mental health, they want to have you on board!

If any of your young people are:

  • Aged 14-25
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Interested in hosting an event for other young people in Liverpool
  • Interested in developing skills in event planning, budgeting, marketing and community building

Then Safe Spaces Reclaiming Community Spaces is the perfect project to sign up for!

The project will run from June – August 2023, with 12 weekly sessions hosted at Make CIC, Birkenhead (travel costs can be reimbursed). With a budget of £2,500, together the group will create a community event for marginalised young people in Liverpool – no previous experience necessary!
