Teenage Kicks: Exploring cultural value from a youth perspective

Abstract: In contemporary accounts of cultural value, young people's perspectives are often restricted to analyses of their encounters with formal cultural institutions or schools or to debates surrounding the cultural implications of new digital spaces and technologies. Other studies have been dominated by instrumental accounts exploring the potential economic benefit and skills development facilitated by young people's cultural encounters and experiences. In this paper we examine the findings of a nine month project, … Show more

“…Mobility is also a social justice issue as it raises questions around access to the city's cultural, political and social opportunities, as well as economic ones. This was seen as particularly relevant to younger and older people who lived on the urban fringes and those who were less mobile and more reliant on public transport (Manchester and Pett, 2015). Our participants felt that a new mapping of public transport in the city was necessary to include these geographically excluded communities in any future transport designs of the city.…”

“…As academics working at the University of Bristol we have been involved in a variety of research projects in which they engaged directly with practitioners working with children, young people and older adults. Manchester has worked extensively with young people across the city, exploring their take on cultural value (Manchester and Pett, 2015) as well as with older adults living in care homes (Bennett et al, 2015). Facer has collaborated with schools across the city for the last decade, and more recently developed a project with informal learning and cultural organisations in the city, based on her previous Area Based Curriculum work (Facer & Thomas, 2014), to foreground the diversity of informal learning experiences available in the city.…”

“…Empirical examples have explored young people's perspectives on cultural value (Gibson & Edwards, 2016;Manchester & Pett, 2015) and argue that young people are often directed in how they 'should' participate (Gibson & Edwards, 2016: 202). Allowing young people to voice their understanding of cultural value challenges normative definitions of participation and of culture.…”

“…Their research provides insights on the dynamics involved in transitioning to a "more shared society". Issues such as integrated neighbourhoods, shared educational initiatives and the importance of formal and informal religious mixing, indicate the complex ways in which questions of cultural value are not only tied up in notions of belonging, collective identity and otherness, but also require youth voice (Manchester & Pett, 2015).…”
