Situation
"In the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%....children's happiness continues to decline." The Children's Society The Covid-19 pandemic affected education and socialisation for young people, leading to decreased confidence and resilience levels, fewer opportunities to experience new challenges and develop life skills, increased isolation and loneliness, and fears for the future. The long-term impact continues to be evident.
Solution
We will deliver free 'Own the Stage' workshops in schools across our operating locations, providing a safe, fun space where children can come together, explore ideas and be creative. Our youth-led approach lets children take ownership of the project, try new things and step outside of their comfort zone. Supported by our experienced team the children determine the final content of the workshops, often resulting in performances that neither they, nor their teachers, thought possible!
