Community Challenge

To empower young people to collaboratively transform a public space through mural art and garden restoration, building confidence, social connection, and a sense of pride in place. The project provides meaningful opportunities for youth to lead, create, learn new skills, and contribute visibly to their community in a positive and lasting way.

How This Project Works

The Youth Mural & Garden Revitalisation Project is designed to be inclusive, equitable and welcoming for young people aged 12-25. Participation is free, no prior skills are required, and every participant is supported to contribute in a way that feels safe and meaningful to them.
The project is supported by a local artist to help design and create the mural along with support from Youth Workers to design and revilalise the garden area for long-term sustainability. 

Summary

To empower young people to express themselves, work together, and contribute to a space that reflects pride, safety, identity, and positive youth visibility.

Creating opportunities for young people to; shape a public space, be seen as contributors, build agency and belonging and learn through hands-on process, not classroom instruction

Unused or uncared-for spaces reinforce disconnection. This project restores the space and the sense of connection.
