Stages is an educational and theatre initiative, dedicated to fostering creative engagement with contemporary issues among young people, increasing social awareness, and building stronger communities. By providing tools to think critically and express themselves artistically, participants are supported in their learning journey towards positive social action.
Primary School
The Stages Toolkit offers creative exercises for primary school students (KS2) on themes like Identity, Belonging, Empathy, Equality and Social Awareness.
Build educational and life skills while encouraging young people to think critically, yet compassionately, and explore values of respect, responsibility, and collaboration.
Secondary School
The online Stages Toolkit also offers 100 activities with interactive learning tools, storytelling techniques, and other drama strategies. These include positive ways to explore the 10 Stages of Genocide: how we can identify, resist, and challenge the initial stages of exclusion and discrimination, and develop more respect for others. Search collaborative and creative problem-solving activities below with prompts for discussions.
