Xpress 10 Festival
More than 500 young people attended the RELAYS Xpress 10
Festival over the weekend of 25 and 26 September, 2010, at the Eden
Project in Cornwall. The festival showcased some of the highlights
of the RELAYS project and looked forward to the next two years of
RELAYS in the build up to 2012.
The Festival included performances by exciting youth dance and
music groups from across the South West, film screenings by young
people along with one of the most popular attractions being the
RELAYS ‘Urbanise’ area. Here, young people were able to take part
in free-running workshops led by Devon Parkour, hone their street
soccer skills, skate the half pipe and enjoy graffiti and DJ ‘ing
workshops.
RELAYS (Regional Educational Legacy in Arts and Youth Sport) is
funded by Legacy Trust UK and is an innovative and ambitious
programme designed to inspire young people and their communities to
participate in, create and promote cultural and sporting activities
in South West England; aiming to create a positive and lasting
legacy beyond 2012.
