DESCRIPTION:Many researchers face a problem of how to see\, measure and ca
 pture the experience of others. This talk will reflect on the challenge of
  engaging with ethnographic and arts-based methods in order to foreground 
 the embodied experience and participants perspective of an arts programme.
  This research sought to explore ‘dis-engaged’ young people’s educat
 ional experiences of the Arts Award. Now in its twelfth year\, the Arts Aw
 ard is a national qualification growing in popularity with the youth and c
 ommunity sector\, which supports young people to “grow as artists and ar
 ts leaders\, connecting them with the wider arts world” (2016 Annual Gui
 de).\n\nThis talk will explore the particular research processes that were
  designed so that young people’s first-hand experience could be privileg
 ed. These included making work and experiencing the arts together\, film m
 aking as interactional analysis and ‘event ethnography’. In order to c
 onduct research into this arts education programme\, creative and visual o
 utputs from its participants\, such as lyrics\, films and performance\, we
 re considered as data. These creations were both representative of the you
 ng peoples arts experiences\, but also acknowledge a different way of know
 ing that the arts encompasses. These artistic forms assist in representing
  the young person’s experience and also contribute to the experience of 
 the thesis as a work of art in itself.\n\n*Frances Howard* is a Lecturer i
 n Youth Studies at Nottingham Trent University. She has previously worked 
 in local authorities\, arts education and youth work. Her creative practic
 e includes filmmaking and she is currently researching young people’s mu
 sic-making in relation to wellbeing. This research was funded by the Unive
 rsity of Nottingham.\n
