The Barbican Young Reviewers is a twelve week course for anyone aged 14–25 who wants to learn how to craft a critical opinion and develop your videography skills and presence on camera through the mentorship of an arts journalist and a YouTuber.

Over twelve weeks you will see three shows at the Barbican and deliver a video review for each to be published on the Barbican’s YouTube channel. Every fortnight you will attend a mentoring session with either an arts journalist or YouTuber who will help you craft your portfolio of reviews.
