Summer Arts Colleges are intensive educational projects designed for young people on Detention and Training Orders (DTOs) and subject to Intensive Supervision and Surveillance (ISS). They re-engage these young people in education, training and employment through the provision of vibrant arts experiences.

Summer Arts Colleges were originally launched as part of the Youth Justice Board and Arts Council England's strategic partnership. To date, Unitas have run over 165 Summer Arts Colleges on their behalf, reaching more than 2000 young people in England and Wales. Young people on Summer Arts Colleges work with a unique combination of artists, literacy and numeracy practitioners, and youth justice practitioners.

In this free seminar Martin will share the research undertaken on the value of this scheme and discuss whether it really does work and if it could be transferred successfully to other groups of young people.
