At Intercultural Youth Scotland, we create spaces for young Black and People of Colour to connect, express themselves, and drive change. Our events celebrate culture, creativity, and activism while providing opportunities for skill-building, advocacy and community-building.
From creative workshops and music showcases to panel discussions and networking events, we amplify young BPOC voices across Scotland. We provide platforms for emerging artists, equip young people with new skills, and facilitate discussions on anti-racism, education, and youth rights. Our events also focus on mental health and wellbeing, offering safe spaces for open conversations and support.
Through partnerships with organisations such as Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe, Solas Festival and much more, we ensure young creatives gain access to mainstream opportunities - not only as attendees but active participants.

Block Beats

Intercultural Youth Scotland’s Block Beats is a dynamic music and creative expression programme designed to empower young people through rhythm, storytelling, and collaboration. Blending music production, lyric writing, and performance, Block Beats creates an inclusive space where young people can explore their identities, build confidence, and have their voices heard.
Led by experienced youth workers and artists, the sessions promote creativity, wellbeing, and positive peer connection while supporting key skills such as communication, teamwork, and self-expression. Whether participants are completely new to music or already developing their sound, Block Beats provides the tools, mentorship, and encouragement needed to unlock their potential.
