About the Young Producers:
The Glasgow Zine Fest Youth Programme is a series of events organised by our Young Producers, young people who are local to our community in Govanhill, Glasgow. Over the past few months they have been hands-on organising their own community arts events for GZF21, developing valuable organisation, teamwork and communication skills along the way.
The group came together to develop the events from start to finish; designing workshops and reaching out to local artists to bring you the creative youth-led events you can find in this year's zine fest.

About Pay-What-You-Can:
For Glasgow Zine Fest events, we use a Pay What You Can (PWYC) sliding scale ticketing system for all programming unless otherwise stated. You can choose to pay £0-12 for all events, workshops and talks.
You can read more about our ticketing system here: glasgowzinelibrary.com/ticketing.
Please be honest with yourself and your financial situation. If you purchase a ticket at the lowest end of the scale when you could afford the higher ticket prices, it makes it harder for us to provide financial flexibility to those who need it.
If you have booked a ticket and can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to others who wish to attend.
How to access our events:
We use Eventbrite for all of our ticketed events. After booking a ticket, you will be sent 3 reminder emails from Eventbrite leading up to the event. We will also send emails that share any resources that attendees will need access to, including any materials you will need in order to participate.

If in doubt, you should log into your Eventbrite account using the same details you used to buy your ticket and access this information from there.
