FreqOUT!
FreqOUT! is Vital Regeneration’s innovative London based community education programme for young people which originated in Westminster. It explores the artistic and educational potential of wireless technology to engage socially excluded young people living in the 20% most deprived areas of the UK.
Experienced artists, tutors and youth workers facilitate activities that encourage young people to discuss and create responses to current issues and technologies.

'Filming with Cardinal Hulme young people'
We aim to increase young people’s opportunities for work and further education through involvement with pioneering technology, exposure to artists, members of the business community and statutory service providers.
The FreqOUT! vision is to push the boundaries of emergent technologies in order to…
- Establish learning and enterprise opportunities for young people
- Break down barriers between industry, communities and the arts
- Improve social cohesion and quality of life
- Explore new possibilities for the arts
- Consult meaningfully with young people
- Innovate public service delivery
Vital Regeneration manages FreqOUT! on behalf of an innovative consortium made up of City of Westminster Council, including their ALMO, City West Homes and the Westminster Youth Service; independent artists; private companies including Capgemini, Vertex; the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) and voluntary sector partners. It is funded by City of Westminster Council, The Arts Council, Capgemini, Vertex, The John Lyons Charity and by commissioning agencies such as North Fulham NDC, The Hayward Gallery, London Development Agency and Paddington Development Trust.
