About Youthscape
We are a group of second year MMU students studying events management working collectively under the title ‘Youthscape’ and are collaborating with GMYN to give youth:
- the opportunity to develop themselves,
- provide an outlet for entertainment during lockdown in a time where it is hard to find opportunities,
- involve them in an event that can help create a sense of community - meeting people with similar interests that might be having a difficult time during the pandemic,
- diminish the sense of loneliness and isolation that the pandemic has brought,
- bring fun and entertainment to Young people included in our target market
How are we going to achieve these objectives?
We are hosting a two session event on the 15th of April.
The first session of our event will be a DJ workshop on Zoom, using Ableton, a music production software freely available online. The workshop will be led by Chris Cue, a fully qualified tutor and professional DJ. The music played and taught will be in the genre of Tech-House.

The second session of the event will consist of a DJ live stream that is open to the public and will be. It will be free to attend, but a donations link will be established to encourage contributions to a charity.
How will Youthscape help GMYN
- All money raised by the event will go to GMYN
- Raising awareness within the target age group of the opportunities GMYN can offer them with their development programmes and drop-in activities
- Providing a development programme to supplement GMYN activities with the mentoring session
- Youthscape will provide entertainment and fun, helping young people's mental health which is in line with GMYN's strategy.
