Great Place: Lakes and Dales aim to understand the reasons for fewer 16 to 34-year-olds than the national average living and working in the area and seek to address them, using arts, heritage and culture as the catalyst for economic, social and environmental change. This collection of films are interviews with young people, working in the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, discussing their role, how they got there and their ambitions for the future, living and working in the countryside. Focused on the rural corridor linking Skipton in the south and Grasmere in the north, including the market towns and rural hinterlands, extending into both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. The programme is managed via the Consortium of Partnership Organisations which includes North Yorkshire Council (lead authority), Westmorland and Furness Council, Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and Lake District National Park Authority. GPLD continues to work with these core partners and other stakeholders through external funded and partnership projects which nurture creativity, encourage creative connections and make meaningful connections with young people living rurally to help ensure they are represented and have an active role in shaping their cultural community.
