Workshops at Urban Beat Academy
Our workshops are designed to re-engage, empower, and shift direction.
They work with young people who feel written off, overlooked, or stuck in patterns that aren’t serving them — and give them a real opportunity to move onto a different trajectory through music, creativity, and trust.
This isn’t surface-level engagement.
It’s the start of change.
What Young People Gain From Our Workshops
Engagement
Young people are actively involved from the first session—creating music, making decisions, and being taken seriously. Engagement isn’t forced; it happens because the work feels real and relevant.
Empowerment
By owning the creative process, young people build confidence, self-belief, and a sense of control over their choices. Many experience success in learning for the first time.
A Change in Trajectory
Workshops introduce a positive alternative pathway—opening doors to further learning, recognised progression routes such as Arts Award, mentoring, and longer-term creative programmes.
Why this works
Arts Award is framed as progression, not a selling point
Commissioners see credibility
Young people don’t feel “qualification-led” pressure
You protect the emotional narrative
