Care-experienced young woman Lucy James described Derby Theatre’s Culture Cares conference as a “celebration of everything care-experienced young people have to offer”.

The Culture Cares conference took place on 16 November 2021, and platformed insightful workshops, presentations and talks about how art and culture not only positively impact the lives of young people in care, but also create career pathways for care leavers.

This was the second Culture Cares conference run by Derby Theatre, following the success of their initial event in 2018. This time, the conference expanded and collaborated with 10 care-experienced young people, who helped inform, structure and host the conference.
