Teenage Summer Camp Programme
Teenagers will take part in workshops that train them in all aspects of the performance process, learning theatre, dance, music, production skills, backstage, lighting, marketing and front of house. They will learn valuable 21st century skills, such as:
the techniques of participatory arts and collaborative theatre making
the ability to create and present an original piece of theatre which will focus on themes of self-actualisation/resiliency, social engagement of diverse populations, and issues of concern to local communities
all aspects of the creative process (ideation, conceptualisation, writing, designing, producing and performing)
This will also develop their:
critical ‘higher-order’ leadership skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and project management.
global perspective, with new language skills, experience of living and working abroad and, an enhanced understanding of other cultures and their place in the world
21st century creative thinking skills to handle artificial intelligence and technological dominance
deep understanding and respect for other countries and cultures and a love of language learning and communication
group/communal learning which addresses learning/socialising gaps exacerbated by pandemic lockdowns
Our camp leaders are all French BAFA-qualified* in compliance with French law, and are subject to a diligent screening process with criminal record checks. Additionally, the Centre for the Arts and Global Leadership has a rigorous safeguarding policy and procedures. Further details can be provided on request.
*The Brevet d'Aptitude aux Fonctions d'Animateur (BAFA) or, childcare aptitude certificate, is a qualification that is required by the French government. Under Youth and Sports regulation in France, a certain percentage of childcare workers in a summer camp must have this certificate.
