Doorstep supports young people to develop their skills, creative work and careers in the arts. Our Pathway programmes supporting young people’s progression as emerging artists, producers, technicians and researchers.
If you’re interested in getting experience of working professionally in the arts or want to explore creative progression routes now and in the future, look through the links to our programmes below and get in touch with us!
Creative Pathways
Creative Pathways provides opportunities for young people aged 13-25 to create their own alternate pathways, developing skills as researchers, artists, producers and active agents of change. Young people co-produce and drive their own artistic projects, inviting others to collaborate with them and identifying the input they need from the Doorstep team. Increasingly, young people are taking leadership roles to produce, fundraise and create their own independent projects and reflect upon the process. You can find our more about our Creative Pathways programme here.
Foot in the Door
Our Foot in the Door mentorship programme creates clear progression routes for young people who aspire to become emerging artists. If you are interested in working professionally in the arts, Foot in the Door provides work experience opportunities and internships as well as paid apprentice and assistant roles, with opportunities to get involved in creative work across all of Doorsteps varied programmes.
