EAR TO THE GROUND >> How to Collaborate Toolkit launched


“All Youth Theatres are different, but they must come together to know it. It is when they come together that these differences can be celebrated and paths, knowledge, thoughts and experiences can be shared. Each youth theatre is a reflection of the community it serves, and gives insight into that communi- ty’s needs, issues and problems.”


OYAP Trust and Oxfordshire Youth Theatre Collaboration have launched a free downloadable resource for youth arts organisations. This toolkit will enable youth arts partnerships to deliver successful collaborative youth theatre and youth arts projects.


The How to Collaborate Toolkit is the product of extensive reflection by youth theatre directors, tutors and young people on an innovative and occasionally challenging collaboration. The Oxfordshire Youth Theatre Collaboration brought together 130 young people 10 artists and 20 youth


tutors and leaders as part of the All Together Different programme. The programme brought together nine youth theatres


from across


Oxfordshire in a series of Exchanges, Master Classes, a Circus Residency and a final Platform Performance of youth theatre.


The All Together Different project was designed to develop youth theatre resources, networks and practitioner skills across Oxfordshire. It also had the broader objective of investigating the processes of collaboration between partner youth theatres with extremely varied constituencies and needs. This Toolkit is intended to share the findings and learning from the programme to a wide audience of industry professionals and funding bodies. a
