About In Music In Media
What We Do...
In Music In Media uses music and media activities as a vehicle to guide and empower marginalised young people, creating alternative educational and career pathways for these individuals through a range of On-Site and Outreach programmes.
Our organisation engages in collaborative efforts with various stakeholders, such as Schools, Local Authorities, the Youth Justice System, and Local Communities. These collaborations serve to identify and recruit young people who are experiencing challenging circumstances, offering them opportunities that can significantly impact and transform their lives.
Our dedicated team is comprised of active professionals in Music and the Creative Industries, Teachers, Lecturers, Social Workers, Counsellors and Mental Health Professionals. This enables us provide an holistic and comprehensive approach with a support network to assist in a range of areas within the individuals personal development.
How we do it...
We host in-house programmes from our multimedia facility in Northampton Town centre which houses our music and film studios. In addition to this our outreach team deliver mobile sessions for our partner organisation on their premises using our portable studio rigs.
These programmes are categorised for the various demographics we work with, including young offenders, NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), Excluded and at-risk of exclusion, knife crime and gang culture victims.
Each individuals journey is tailored to meet their unique needs and interests using the following engaging activities; Music Production, Rapping, Singing, Songwriting, Recording, Digital Media and Content Creation. Throughout the journey we provide ongoing mentorship and counselling, ensuring that the young people receive the necessary emotional and professional support.
