Be generous. Now be more generous. Share your privilege.

We need creative professionals to step up & volunteer to mentor a young person who doesn't have the connections or financial backing to believe they could access a creative career.

The Arts Emergency manifesto - a pink background with statements written in alternative colours - red and blue reading: There are things that are bigger and better than money. We have things that those in power will never understand. We take it as a given that a civilised society values education, lifelong learning and creativity as a public good. We are a social justice not social mobility organisation. Arts Emergency is no substitute for justice withheld. Fight the conditioning that tells you to demonise young people. Be fearless. You are just as entitled as anyone to have the life you want. There is no recession of the imagination. The future is another place. Allow yourself to believe a better life is possible. Say it loud, defiantly, to everyone. Be generous. Now be more generous. Share your privilege. Do something. Start small, start local, keep going. Optimism is a weapon and if all else fails be silly.

It's always difficult to be a young person in the world, finding your place, building your future. Right now it feels like it must be especially difficult. How do you feel hope for the paths ahead when faced with our day to day? I think maybe with the help of places like @artsemergency.bsky.social

"This wk's mentoring meeting was useful for both of us.Yes it takes time.Yes it takes prep. No you often don't have the immediate solutions.But it gets you thinking. & often what you're thinking about applies as much to you as much as it does to your mentee." -Colin, mentor
