G20 Festival.

g20 squre logo

G20 Festival is a youth led, postcode based project based in Shuna Street in Maryhill, Glasgow. The project was inspired by local community projects The Children’s Wood and North Kelvin Meadow and draws upon a Swedish Project Mitt 127  – a festival which has had ‘amazing results in engaging young people, tackling crime, getting young people into work and integrating minority groups in an economically deprived area of Sweden’. The approach has also been influenced by the work of the Violence Reduction Unit.

G20 Festival started up in 2018 and has very quickly gone from strength to strength. Trough a youth led approach it empowers the young people, who are together addressing a range of issues.  Harnessing their passion they are promoting wellbeing and enhancing the future prospects of young people in the area.

G20 Project

The G20 Youth Project aims to create a trauma responsive community where young people are included, heard, valued and supported in the society in which they live.

The Project includes:

G20 Youth Club

G20 Works

G20 Arts Academy
