This summer Arts Without Borders host a transformative project for young women. The project will engage young women from diverse ethnic backgrounds through the arts. We will focus on navigating online presence and identity. Over two weeks, we will explore issues including catfishing, online bullying, image shaming. We will also look at the impact of sexist and xenophobic behaviour.
The program includes drama workshops. You will take part in research, devising, creative writing, and performance. The workshops aim to foster a safe and supportive environment for you to express your online experiences and challenges.
As well as the workshops we will attend two live theatre shows each week. You will see professional performances and gain inspiration for your own creative work. The project will culminate in a sharing event on August 18. Participants will showcase their work.
This is a unique opportunity for young women to build confidence, develop their artistic skills, and create a supportive community while addressing significant online issues. Join us for a summer of empowerment, creativity, and growth.
