Grassroots, Music and Digital Arts Departments The young people who visit Grassroots Music and Digital Arts Departments in Cardiff have the opportunity to use industry standard equipment to try their hand at music recording and production, video and filmmaking, and work with computers and graphics. Running since 1979, Grassroots sees up to 250 young people a week, encouraging them to see their potential and often giving them a platform to showcase their talents. Whatever the idea, Grassroots supports young people to make it happen. Ferndale Grass Fires Project When young people in the Ferndale area of Rhondda Cynon Tav were consulted, they said that community safety was an important issue for them. One issue in particular was grass fires. The proximity of the Ferndale cluster to rural hills makes it a hotspot for grass fires, and many young people didn't feel safe in their community. Young people sought funding to create a video blog about the effects the grass fires have on their community, from the perspectives of all those affected, including the fire starters, fire officers, wildlife officers, police officers and community members. The young filmmakers premiered their DVD to 120 other young people at a community safety event. And, as a result of this project, there has been a significant decrease in the numbers of grass fires in the area. Kazakhstan Regeneration Project With a variety of partners, Vale of Glamorgan Youth Service brought together young people to regenerate a piece of land for their community by creating a mural. Funded by the Police Youth Trust, the Kazakhstan Regeneration Project engaged young people positively. The young people worked together to research their area and design and create their mural. This art project has given local young people somewhere to go, something to take ownership of, and something for them and their community to be proud of. YMCA Swansea Music Recording Studio The Music Recording Studio in Swansea YMCA offers the young people come through their doors the opportunity to take part in a host of free vocal and instrumental lessons and sessions in lyric writing, composition and digital song music composition. The young people can rehearse, use the recording studio or book a session with one of the tutors, all of whom are passionate and talented musicians. The Music Studio even ventures further afield by taking equipment out onto the streets, into schools, youth clubs and homeless provision, giving access to those who are hardest to reach. The young people set their own targets and develop action plans. Some have even gone on to gain accreditations, become volunteers or seek employment as a result.
