Art & Music Tackles Exeter's Anti-Social Behaviour
26 May
Summary
- MIDI project uses art and music to combat anti-social behavior.
- The initiative aims to guide young people towards career development.
- It connects music, sport, and youth networks to foster positive change.
In Exeter, a new project is harnessing the power of art and music to address and reduce anti-social behaviour in troubled hotspots. The Music Industry Development Initiative (MIDI), launched at the Source Studio, offers local musicians recording and rehearsal facilities.
The core aim of MIDI is to support artists in developing high-level careers while simultaneously diverting young people from causing disruption in the city centre. This initiative seeks to instill a sense of value and positive self-perception among youth.
By linking established music, sport, and youth networks, the project intends to tackle the root causes of anti-social behaviour. This collaborative approach, supported by developers and local councils, aims to transition a generation towards positive social contributions.
