train to be a workshop leader

We deliver training for people aged 18-25 from refugee backgrounds who are passionate about using drama and creativity with young people and other community groups.

Our trainee workshop leaders attend regular sessions, focussing on topics including creative delivery, safeguarding, collaboration, planning, behaviour management and problem solving.

Our new workshop leaders support all of our project delivery, first as volunteers or paid assistants, and then as paid freelance facilitators. Recently our trainee workshop leaders have supported delivery for Young Company, Phosphoros Sisters, post-show workshops, sessions for schools and Stories for Sleeping.

We also deliver training for other organisations who work with emerging leaders with lived experience of forced migration. Sometimes we focus on how performance skills help us when leading workshops or public speaking, and other times we focus on how to set personal and professional boundaries as a refugee community leader. Recently we have delivered training for Coram Young Citizens, Springboard Youth Academy’s peer leaders project, Young Roots, and Protein Dance.
