The course will begin on the 14th of April 2015.
A 10 weeks arts-for-social-change programme, where young people in Bristol get to make a piece of spoken word theatre with a group of young people in Sweden. Through a serious of fun and exciting workshops we meet up one evening a week and use Skype, videos and emails to explore different topics with a group in Sweden; these topics may be personal such as bullying or gender inequality or they may be more global, like youth unemployment and violence, but whatever we explore, we want to find similarities and solutions to make positive social change.
