Centre stage
Applications are now open for two free National Theatre training programmes for young people age 14-18. Now in its third year, the Young Technicians programme runs between October 2019 and March 2020 and covers lighting, sound, video and stage. It gives participants the chance to shadow National Theatre professionals and provide technical support to the NT youth programme during the Easter and summer holidays. Applications need to be in by 11 September. In August, the brand-new Young Makers Programme is a week-long course that will explore the craft of production, including costume and props. Applications close 14 July. No prior knowledge or work experience is required. The National Theatre is committed to diversity and encourages applications from young women and people of colour.

A NEW HOME
FOR OLD BOOKS If you’re having an end-of-year clearout to make way for new textbooks, you may be unsure of what to do with the old ones. Help A South African School will collect books for free and send them to children in South Africa, where only seven per cent of schools have libraries. Visit
helpasouthafricanschool.co.uk/ book-donation for more details.
