LYT BIG Evaluation Feedback Sessions


Are you a past member of LYT? A parent or carer of someone who has taken part? Are you a teacher or partner organisation who has supported an LYT member? 

Lewisham Youth Theatre has been creating free theatre projects with young people aged 3 to 21 years old in Lewisham Borough since 1987.

As well as being fun, high quality and inclusive, our work has been recognised by local and national bodies such as Lewisham Children’s Services, CAMHS and Children in Need as an important way of supporting young people to engage and develop beyond the arts. 

Now Lewisham Youth Theatre is being supported by Big Lottery Fund to analyse the long-term impacts of our work on young people’s wellbeing and life chances, via our BIG Evaluation.

This where you come in

We are running Feedback Sessions in September and October so you can tell us about the impact LYT has made on you and your young people:

  • Past Members, September 21st
  • Parents & Carers, October 5th
  • Teachers & Partners, October 19th

All sessions will run 6-7pm, refreshments will be provided

Please RSVP here

The information we are able to gather through the BIG Evaluation is important to ensuring our work continues in the future.

The results of the BIG evaluation will be published in spring 2017.

P.S. our survey is still open!

 

Upcoming Senior Youth Theatre Performance

Three Little Words

Three Little Words is about the things, people and places that give us our sense of belonging. Our play has developed out of exchanges and meetings with young people from Bristol, Paris, Milan and Jamaica.
