Our Programmes
Specialist Programmes for Every Setting
From immersive workshops for young people to transformative CPD for professionals, every programme we deliver is rooted in Theatre of the Oppressed and designed around your setting's specific needs.
Overview
What We Offer
We work with schools, multi-academy trusts, local authorities, alternative provision settings, and charitable organisations. Whether you need a one-day workshop, a sustained programme, or a bespoke co-designed intervention, we bring the same rigour, creativity, and care to every engagement.
Workshops for Young People & Families
Participatory learning that builds confidence, empathy, problem solving and social skills
Our workshops use applied theatre techniques — drawn from Theatre of the Oppressed — to create a safe, creative space where young people and families can explore real social situations, rehearse different responses, and develop the skills they need to make positive change. Participants build agency by recognising their choices, testing their own ideas and shaping solutions that matter to them. Sessions are immersive, participant-led, and carefully facilitated to ensure every voice is heard.
