Texte : The first ever Irish Arts Council youth arts forum, held from 27th-29th March 2010, and which saw some 60 young people from all over Ireland gather in Dublin explored the idea that, given the chance, young people could take over buildings now lying empty around the country and turn them into exciting exhibition centres, rehearsal spaces, film sets and artists' studios.

The participants, all aged between 15 and 24, said they wanted agencies like the Arts Council to form their own "youth advisory committees" to nurture their creativity. Such initiative within state bodies would mean that young people could represent themselves, putting forward their own ideas and proposals on cultural policy, not merely being represented by older adults.

Delegates from Wicklow, Antrim, Donegal, Monaghan, Sligo, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Waterford, Wexford, Westmeath, Laois, Louth as well as various parts of Dublin said they wanted to form a national union for youth arts to create more opportunities for talent to emerge.
