Youth Theatre Arts Scotland have a rolling programme of youth theatre sector training sessions, with events taking place throughout the year.
The training programme uses a blend of virtual and live events and a variety of different formats. We use Workshop spaces for subjects led by an expert; our ever-popular Swap Shops for the youth theatre sector to share ideas; Creative Conversations to allow a bit of Q&A on a given topic; and Fora to bring groups together to work through projects and challenges.
To help you to better select the training sessions that are most appropriate, each training event has a suggested audience of Managers, Youth Theatre Practitioners, or Freelancers. We also break down our dynamic programme into six thematic areas…
| Youth Theatre Foundations | How to run a safe, efficient organisation through policy, legislation and best practice. |
| Creative Concepts | Creative workshops for all the artforms under the umbrella term we call “youth theatre”. |
| Youth Theatre for Everyone | Investigating all areas of access and inclusion – not just ticking boxes. |
| Money Matters | Help with managing finance, balancing budgets and getting really good at fundraising. |
| Next Generation | Empowering the leaders of tomorrow. |
| Freelancers’ Guide | Tackling topics that are unique to the freelancers in our sector. |
