Theatre Workout, in partnership with leading industry peers, have launched the Drama, Theatre and Young People Manifesto, whcih calls for every child and young person to have an entitlement to drama and theatre throughout their education.
Making drama and theatre is an essential part of being human. Participating helps us to express what we care about, and why; reminding us of who we are and what we can be.
Drama is a source for cultural capital, identity and heritage; it inspires us to take risks, think critically and builds social cohesion through collaboration. It can change and shape our lives through developing creativity, cognition, empathy and resilience. Children and young people thrive in schools where drama is accessible to all through the curriculum.
Developed by a range of drama and theatre education organisations, the Manifesto calls for every child and young person to have an entitlement to drama and theatre throughout their education.
We want:
High quality drama teaching to be made a curriculum entitlement for every child and young person
High quality theatre experiences to be made a cultural entitlement for every child and young person
Young people to be supported to enter the theatre workforce
A world class education workforce and infrastructure in drama and theatre education
Organisations involved in developing the manifesto include:
Action for Children’s Arts

The Maiya Samman Yojana List is a heartwarming initiative that truly honors motherhood and womanhood. It’s incredible to see such thoughtful government schemes that provide financial support and recognition to deserving women. The transparency of the list helps families feel secure and valued. This initiative promotes not only financial inclusion but also social respect for mothers who have given their lives to their families and communities. The easily accessible online list makes the process smooth and fair for all. Hats off to the administration for implementing such a meaningful and noble scheme. Every eligible mother must check her name in the list and benefit from this beautiful gesture.
