Current and future projects
IntoAct –
delivering participatory Drama Workshops to selected pupils
from Years 9-11 who are struggling in the classroom
environment and/or display challenging behaviour. IntoAct
sessions aim to raise self-esteem, aid personal development,
provide a structured activity that is informal and fun,
explore subjects of interest to the participants, and above
all give young people a sense of achievement. Following a
successful pilot in Autumn 2007,
IntoAct is
now being delivered to Secondary School pupils and pupils at
a PRU. (Report on IntoAct pilot available on request.)
