Description
Young people's engagement with cultural venues such as theatres, concert halls, galleries and museums tends to decline as they progress through their teens. This decline may be due to a lack of relevance or accessibility, rather than a dislike of particular art forms.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation has commissioned 'Crossing the Line' to explore this issue and identify ways in which cultural venues can make themselves more accessible to teenagers. The book reviews evidence, includes new research and highlights initiatives that have been successful in engaging young people with cultural experiences.
