Get In

The Purpose of Get In

A group of young promoters who took part in the Get In programme. They are sitting outdoors in a line, with their backs to the camera. They are looking across a loch with hills beyond.

Running between 2016-2019, GET IN supported 20 young people aged between 16-26 living in the Highlands and Islands.

The programme provided participants with the training, knowledge and expertise required to programme the live events they want to see in their communities.

  • 0 Youth promoters

  • 0 Performances programmed

  • 1000 Audience members attending

What it involved

Training & Workshops

Residential training weekends, discussions and practical sessions which covered An introduction to Promoting, Getting Started as a Promoter, and The Practicalities of programming a tour.

Bursaries

Youth Promoters could apply for bursaries to attend a range of performances and events across Scotland. From major festivals to events in Touring Network venues, these experiences enabled them to be inspired by and network with performers.

Mentorship

Each Youth Promoter was paired with an existing network promoter from elsewhere in the Highlands and Islands, who encouraged them to develop their skills and confidence throughout the programme.

Programming

Youth promoters worked together with their peers to programme and promote a tour to venues in their communities across the Highlands and Islands.
