Sonic Pathways
Many young adults who think differently have found the education and/or employment system challenging, and might not feel sure of their future. Sonic Pathways is designed to provide mentoring, support and guidance towards a positive future pathway, focussing on creative approaches and industries.
One-to-One or small groups
Everybody is different, and that is to be celebrated. So for each person the pathway ahead will be different and rarely straight forward. That's why we have a mentoring approach where interests can be explored, skills furthered and employment or training opportunities pursued.
Funding
These sessions can be paid for privately, or through support you are entitled to. If you, or a young person you support has an EHCP, we can work with you to discuss how this can be used to build a support programme with the Sonic Pathways team to find the future that is right for you.
Creativity is key
Our team of mentors are from the creative sectors, but that doesn't mean that you have to bring a stack of talent. If creative thinking is something you enjoy that's all you need. Be it through music, written word, art or more - we would love to hear what you enjoy, and support you with that towards a career.
The Sonic Stream
The Sonic Stream: Bringing Chichester to Life
Live. Local. Connected.
We’re creating a live-streamed platform that will shine a spotlight on Chichester—its music, art, events, businesses, and local culture. It’s designed to help everyone feel more connected to what’s happening in their city. Whether you’re discovering a new band, finding a community event, or supporting local creatives, The Sonic Space will be your go-to source for what’s vibrant and real in Chichester.
This is about building pride in where we live—giving people more reasons to get out, get involved, and feel good about being part of it all.
Powered by Young Talent That Thinks Differently
Behind the scenes, the stream will be run by young people who think differently - they might be powered by neurodivergence, feel that they think a bit differently to those around them, or have a unique outlook on life. It doesn't matter if the education system hasn't worked, qualifications are not relevant here - it's about wanting to get involved - in a group capacity, or just bringing your own quiet, individual thought to a collective project. These young producers get a chance to see what they enjoy - planning, presenting, promoting, and building a platform that proves difference isn’t a weakness; it’s a superpower.
We’re offering hands-on training, real-world skills, and a place where young people can be seen, heard, and celebrated, regardless of qualifications or education, built on enthusiasm.
Sessions now Underway
These sessions are running once a week, every Friday from 4-6pm at the Chichester Boys Club with a second weekly session starting soon. If you'd like to take part or just find out more email us at info@thesonicspace.com.
