MAC offers a range of specialist media and music courses for young people- from video production, graphics and photography to music technology, rapping and DJing. We have professional equipment and software to help students achieve amazing results whilst gaining real qualifications.
Arts for All
Arts for All is an exciting and vibrant department offering free arts activities to all young people from Cardiff and the Vale. Classes range from traditional arts workshops to performance classes and music sessions, and these are absolutely free.
Divert
The award winning Divert programme aims to divert young people from the criminal justice system and prevent re-offending. We deliver effective interventions and tailored support to inspire and equip young people to make positive changes to their lives, whilst through restorative justice interventions ensure harm to the victim is repaired.
