The Junior Youth Theatre Workshop Project will engage 60 participants aged 11-14 in a series of drama workshops aimed at building confidence, teamwork and creative communication skills, culminating in a performance of participant-created dramatic work for family and friends during the school holidays. Funding will support the project’s staff delivery costs: two experienced drama facilitators to deliver the 16-week drama project; and project management to recruit referrals and support vulnerable participants to engage and progress through the project.
