YOUNGSTERS in Burnley are being encouraged to experiment with unusual painting techniques to promote understanding, respect and equality.

As part of the Eye 2 Eye community art project, run by Burnley Youth Theatre, boys and girls, aged between 12 and 16 worked closely with artists.

A celebration launch will take place in the community centre, in Daneshouse Road, from 6pm to 7.30pm, on Friday, February 27.
