With your help we will give more young people the space to meet and share amazing, creative experiences with each other, to rub shoulders with professional artists and practitioners, to grow as individuals and learn for themselves how to use the arts to transform their own lives.

As Gulbenkian approaches its 50th anniversary we take a look back the very beginning and how the theatre and cinema came to be.
Children and Young People are at the heart of what we do, as audience members, as participants and as thought leaders.
Through our landmark ART31 project we are working with young people and partners in Kent to create new opportunities through the arts for under 25's across the county.
Below are some of our current projects focused on the development of young people.
TECH(Y)31 is a fun, weekly workshop for 10-12 year olds interested in the technical side of theatre.
Gulbenkian Uncovered gives students the chance to get behind the scenes, develop new skills and run events at Gulbenkian.
Gulbenkian are working in partnership with Jasmin Vardimon Company and Kent Sport on our Youth Dance Company for young people aged 14 to 18.
Square Pegs Arts is an award-winning charity who run activities and projects for young people and adults who have learning disabilities, autism or social communication difficulties.
Interested in filmmaking? Want to learn some new skills? SCREEN31 might be just what you’re looking for!
Whether you are thinking of performing as a career, want to study drama, just enjoy performing or want to make new friends, these fantastic and fun sessions run during school term-times.
We want to #ChangeKent. How? By creating more artistic events and opportunities for young people. By motivating young people to be creative, and to try art forms they wouldn’t usually think of. By introducing them to new work that they may not have been able to access before. By developing relationships between arts organisations and young people, leading young people to take control and get involved in making decisions.
TECH31KENT’s weekly training sessions will introduce 13-18 year olds to the technical side of theatre, providing training to young people and on job experience of working back stage in a theatre and other live events.
