ESC 8: Acting For Change

Description de l’activité

Acting for Change is a solidarity project based in Newbridge, Ireland for young actors aged between 22 and 30. It aims to train actors in the process of drama facilitation so that they can enhance their employability by gaining valuable new skills. The project, therefore, is aimed at young actors who have either trained or gained experience of working in the theatre sector. It is particularly suited for those who are finding it difficult to get sustainable employment on their own countries, and who would like to develop and practice the vocational skill of drama facilitation. Acting for Change is a 12-month volunteer programme. Participants will arrive in Ireland in the first week of September 2021. The project ends in the final week of August 2022.
