Creative Youth Assembly Group — Creative Stirling

Our Creative Youth Assembly was established in 2023, as part of our National Lottery funded Community and Media Matters project. The group, currently running once a month, brings together young people to take part in creative activities, learn more about potential career pathways, learn new skills, develop friendships, and have fun.

We regularly bring in professions working in creative, and sometimes not creative, careers to talk about their pathways, the realities of the work they do, and give advice to our group members.

February 25th 6-8pm

Our first CYA guest of 2025 is the incredible Gregg McNeill! A local photographer with over 25 years of experience, Gregg specialises in Victorian camera and dark room processes.

“Gregg McNeill is a Photographer specialising in older analogue processes such as Wetplate Collodion Tintype and Ambrotype, Salt Printing, Cyanotype and wet darkroom processes. He’s going to show some examples of cameras, lenses and images made with these older processes and talk about how these processes have influenced his work.” Find out more about Gregg’s work here.

As part of our Creative Youth Assembly, we have worked with some incredibly talented creative professionals, working throughout the Creative Industries. By inviting them to work with our young people, they can share their expertise, career paths, and give key advice. These collaborations help our members explore diverse career options, develop essential skills, and gain insights into the industry while building valuable networks for the future. Here some of the awesome people we have worked with in 2024-
