“When other organisations might be slowing down because they’re not getting people wanting to attend them, we’re growing, because we change with the youth. And I think that’s really important. That’s really pivotal to why [Corrugated Iron has] reached 40,” says 15-year-old Alice Cotter, one of several young leaders who ensure young people’s ideas and influences play a direct role in shaping the annual artistic program of Corrugated Iron Youth Arts.
“I like to call us the SRC [Student Representative Council] of Corro. We provide Corro with ideas that come from the youth themselves, so that [the company] have this idea of what the youth want and how Corro can become really youth led,” Cotter explains.
