An exciting youth-led training scheme providing training in drama workshop facilitation for young people aged 11-18.

The idea for the project came from young people from Toonspeak’s Members Forum who wanted the chance to take part in Toonspeak’s volunteer training programme for adults, but couldn’t because they were too young.  Such was their determination to create a similar scheme for young people, they even raised the money to allow the project to go ahead.

Participants are taught about leadership skills, communication, how to structure a workshop and how to explain and teach drama games to others and are then challenged to plan and run their own drama workshop at the end of the training. 

 This initial training is followed by a number of mentored workshop sessions with local community groups of all ages and abilities.

If you know of young people or groups of young people who you feel could benefit from taking part, please get in touch with Heather Armstrong on heather@toonspeak.co.uk

Thanks to support from the Gannochy Trust, Young Leaders Drama Training has now become a core part of our activity.

Toonspeak gives young people the chance to work directly with theatre professionals to learn all the tricks of working behind the scenes and to develop find out more about careers in this area.

Technical Theatre Training - Dates, times and venue will be announced soon.
