Football Arts Academy is a 12 month pilot project aimed at young people at risk of social and educational exclusion that brings together football and the arts. The end result is a nationally recognised qualification for the young people, delivered by means of a partnership between Arts Award, arts organisations and practitioners, and the community schemes of four football clubs in Southern England - Brighton and Hove Albion, Bournemouth, Reading and Southampton.
This film gives an overview of the project, the role of the clubs' community schemes and arts organisations, and also explores the reasons behind the Foundation's investment in the project.
