IYMAs Participation 2025-2026
Content
This programme is about recognising the time, energy, and creativity young people bring to music-making and youth spaces across the country. Whether you’re performing, producing, organising, leading, or supporting others, your participation matters — and it deserves to be recognised.
Learning here doesn’t happen through tests or uploads. It happens through experience: by trying things out, working with others, taking responsibility, and reflecting on what you’ve learned along the way. The programme workbook is a space for you to capture those experiences in your own words and on your own terms.
There are lots of ways to be involved in IYMAs hubs, and all of them count. Creative, technical, and leadership roles are all recognised, because each one plays an important part in making the programme work and building strong, inclusive youth music spaces.
The recognition you receive is designed to be useful beyond this programme. It helps you name the skills you’ve developed, the roles you’ve taken on, and what you’ve learned — so you can talk about them confidently in education, work, or other opportunities.
This system is designed to be fair, accessible, and supportive, and to work across different hubs and settings. It reflects how young people really learn and take part, and it’s built around participation, respect, and your voice.
