Voices for Change

• Are you 13 – 19?
• Do you have a passion for drama and other art forms?
• Do you want to make change happen in your community? 

Voices for Change are a group of young people from different cultures and backgrounds who enjoy learning about theatre and the arts. We meet up to share ideas, make new friends, express our opinions, and put on performances and events about issues we want to change.

We will be hosting the ARROW international congress in Plymouth that will bring people from across the globe together to work on how to use the arts for a more peaceful world.

We will
• Plan and host the event itself
• Use theatre and the arts to address key issues in our own communities helping to make Plymouth a safe and enjoyable place for people from diverse cultures and backgrounds to live

We need YOU to join our group and to help us make this exciting event happen.

It’s FREE and transport is provided if needed.

“The ARROW congress was one of the most memorable experiences of my life because we made really great friends with young people from all over the country. We got to spend a week with them learning about different issues which happen all over the country, we had a great time together”

“It helped me realise whilst we’re all different, we are also all the same”
