Supporting Inclusion in Youth Theatre

Learning from Practice

18th and 19th Nov 2022

This year’s symposium explores how youth theatres are currently developing inclusive practice, offering skills workshops to examine approaches to inclusion with opportunities to discuss and share practice and work towards shaping future supports.

With workshops and presentations across a range of areas including Exploring Inclusive Methodologies in Youth Theatre Facilitation, Demystifying and developing Inclusive Drama and Story-Making and Dyslexia in Youth Theatre the symposium facilitates a chance to reflect on what is working and what could be different – come and join us!

This year the Playshare event will see three new plays specially written for 11-14-year-olds, receiving staged extracts for the very first time.

The Youth Theatre Practice Symposium 2022 will be hosted by the Department of Theatre, University College Cork and Youth Theatre Ireland. The symposium is aimed broadly at those already engaged in youth theatre practice as well as participants with an interest in youth theatre from the theatre, education, youth work and community sectors.

The symposium is open to adult practitioners aged 18+.
