Arts Active Trust in Cardiff is using a Supporting Great Ideas grant from The National Lottery to work with young community leaders to co-produce regular Reading Rooms, where marginalised young people are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills, hold conversations that explore different viewpoints, and be able to build civic power. The project will begin in Cardiff where a successful pilot was previously held, before upscaling to include Pontypridd and Blaenau Ffestiniog. The grant will fund staffing costs, administration, monitoring and evaluation, workshop costs, venue hire, refreshments, training materials, Welsh and BSL translation, marketing, and web design.
