Black young people lure peers to National Trust's properties

1 min read Youth Work
Audio tours recorded by black young people are to be played at a National Trust park in a bid to attract a more diverse range of visitors.

Nine young people from the Redditch-based Caribbean Roots Connection organisation will create an audio tour for Croome Park in Worcestershire, as part of the Access All Areas programme. The programme is part of a wider National Trust initiative called Whose Story?, which aims to show the hidden stories behind its properties and parks and attract visitors, members, volunteers and staff from culturally diverse communities.

Caribbean Roots Connection is a voluntary organisation that addresses the social, cultural and educational needs of young people of African and Caribbean descent in Worcestershire.

The young people involved in the project are all aged between 10 and 13 and will work with scriptwriters and audio technicians to write and produce an entertaining audio tour for visitors to listen to on an MP3 player as they tour the park.
