NYCI's Certificate in Youth Arts is the only course one of its kind in Ireland. Certified by NUI Maynooth, and coordinated by NYCI’s Arts Programme, it provides participants with a contextual and practice-based understanding of arts practice with young people. It provides opportunities to experience various art forms, learn from practitioners in the field, and to consider the values and methodologies underpinning arts practice with young people. It is the first opportunity many participants already working in the youth arts field will have to certify their own experiential learning.
