Theatre for Life:
"Generation Anthropocene"
From the local, community-based organisation Theatre for Life comes a new project. 'Generation Anthropocene' uses theatre as a transformative tool to instigate positive changes, amplifying youth voices to raise awareness and drive action on critical environmental issues.
quotes from participants:
Being able to talk about the ocean and learn about it whilst being right next to it made it great to feel close and connected to nature.
It encouraged me to value and make the most of our oceans and also to make small decisions such as reusable products or careful recycling so that less plastic ends up in our oceans.
​
It encouraged me to do my best and to be more mindful of how I treat the new forest and it inspired me to take action where possible to support species that may be suffering but also my community.
