16 & 18 yr olds have just lost their final term when teachers wd have been checking they had a course, job or apprenticeship. Also starter jobs in retail & hospitality aren’t there. We need a major plan for school leavers - a job/training guarantee - or the scars will be deep ..1

Just out of a lovely chat with Emma at EMERGE(ncy) PARTY, hearing about the wonderful work they're doing during lockdown (and beyond) enabling young people to be artists and activists, and engage with their local communities. I love to see it! 👊

This is my piece for The Stage. It’s an argument that youth theatre has the infrastructure and potential to become a sprawling, hyper-local civic space in which we might listen properly to young people.

This week in our sessions we’re talking to our young people about anti-racism and #BlackLivesMatter We're compiling resources for young people, focused on anti-racism, arts activism and protest to share more widely Send us your suggestions

Little PRODUCER gig here with EMERGE(ncy) PARTY - but I love the sound of this project so could hopefully lead to a bigger role. Have a look: artsjobs.org.uk/index.php?id=2…

Hello! We are looking for a PRODUCER to come on board for our project 'BECOMING'. Lots of exciting plans including working with an awesome researcher in adolescence, neuroscience & mental health. Please share with anyone who you think might be a good fit artsjobs.org.uk/index.php?id=2…

I'm currently running a project with EMERGE(ncy) PARTY discussing all things adolescence with lots of young people around London. How do young people see the world emerging from the pandemic? We have a weekly newsletter, please sign up: eepurl.com/hJstxX

Topics covered include: self-concept development, possible futures, agency, risk-taking and group decision-making. We're lucky to be supported by funding from Wellcome Innovation Fund @WCHN_UCL and Arts Council England and to work alongside @TrevesConnie and many other amazing members
