Live Theatre's Young Person Employability Programme
Live Theatre Young Person Employability Programme in Partnership with NHS Universal Family Programme
Live Theatre will be delivering a series of 6 x weekly 2hr workshops for young people aiming to get into work.
This is a FREE NHS funded Programme being offered to a select number of young people who are about to leave care or who are a care leaver age 25 and under. This is ideal for people who have a connection to care teams in South Tyneside, but open to all care experienced people aged 16-25 that could get to the The Customs House regularly.
Join us for a six week programme of workshops (2 hour workshop once a week) for care experienced young people aiming to get into work.
Using creative learning and drama, our workshops are designed to enhance communication skills, build confidence and encourage teamwork, whilst equipping the participants with the necessary skills and knowledge needed in preparation for entering the world of work.
These workshops have been created by Live Theatre in partnership with specialist freelance facilitator Jayne Humphreys, who is significantly experienced in working with care experienced young people.
The workshops will also be led by Jayne, along with a freelance support worker, and well-being practitioner, ensuring that the young people are fully supported during their time with us.
Sessions will take place at The Customs House, South Shields on Wednesdays 6pm-8pm from Wed 7 May to Wed 11 Jun 2025
Examples of what the workshops might include:
- Building confidence and self-esteem through drama games and activities
