Youth arts programmes give young people access to different kinds of art skills, social networks and professional standard opportunities. This article explores a typology of youth arts from across five programmes in Denmark and England, examining through observations and interviews with staff and young people what kind of arts practices are centered within the programmes. Our categories incorporate programmes that are art skills focused, event‐oriented, entrepreneurial, and open access. We recognize that the intentions and outcomes of youth arts programmes are not always as clearly defined as these categories. Yet we argue that there are dilemmas inherited with each category that can cause youth arts programmes to become diluted, fail to achieve stated aims and negatively affect the young person's experience. We offer a typology that characterizes the motivations and approaches of youth arts programmes, as well as the core potentials and dilemmas they involve, thereby sharing useful insights to the on‐going development of current programmes as well as the formation of future programmes.

丹麦和英格兰青年艺术项目的类别和困境


青年艺术项目为年轻人提供了获得不同种类的艺术技能、社交网络和专业标准机会的机会。本文探讨了丹麦和英格兰五个项目的青年艺术类型，通过对工作人员和年轻人的观察和访谈，研究了项目以什么样的艺术实践为中心。我们的类别包括以艺术技能为重点、以事件为导向、创业和开放获取的课程。我们认识到，青年艺术项目的意图和结果并不总是像这些类别那样明确定义。然而，我们认为，每个类别都存在遗传的困境，这些困境可能导致青年艺术项目变得淡化，无法实现既定目标，并对青年的经历产生负面影响。我们提供了一种类型学，描述了青年艺术项目的动机和方法，以及它们所涉及的核心潜力和困境，从而为当前项目的持续发展以及未来项目的形成分享有用的见解。
