Children and Young People are at the heart of what we do, as audience members, as participants and as thought leaders.
Through our landmark ART31 project we are working with young people and partners in Kent to create new opportunities through the arts for under 25's across the county.
Below are some of our current projects focused on the development of young people.
TECHY31 is a fun, weekly workshop for 10-12 year olds interested in the technical side of theatre.
Are you enthusiastic, committed and creative? Gulbenkian Uncovered gives students the chance to get behind the scenes, develop new skills and run events at Gulbenkian.
We are excited that the Youth Dance Company will be entering a new chapter from January 2020.
Square Pegs Arts are an award winning Charity who provide drama groups, music projects and other accessible Arts opportunities for children and young adults who have learning disabilities and autism, and produce original, inspiring, challenging Theatre. Difference is celebrated and everyone is supported to shine in their own way.
Interested in filmmaking? Want to learn some new skills? SCREEN31 might be just what you’re looking for!
Fantastic and fun sessions for ages 5-18 years, encouraging creativity and developing theatre making skills. Sessions run during school term-times.
We want to #ChangeKent. How? By creating more artistic events and opportunities for young people. By motivating young people to be creative, and to try art forms they wouldn’t usually think of. By introducing them to new work that they may not have been able to access before. By developing relationships between arts organisations and young people, leading young people to take control and get involved in making decisions.
TECH31KENT’s weekly training sessions will introduce 13-18 year olds to the technical side of theatre, providing training to young people and on job experience of working back stage in a theatre and other live events.
