Focus on Friendship

Working alongside Walsall Community Arts, Urban Voice developed workshops for year seven pupils at Frank F Harrison School using drama techniques to explore the strengths and weaknesses of friendships. Such was the success of the workshop, Urban Voice were invited back to administer the same workshops for teachers at the school.

"Some of the pupils in your workshop have never participated or taken part in any extra curricular sessions. To my amazement, certain pupils stood up, became involved and for the first time in this school had a voice. As a result, we felt it was important that these techniques should be taught to teachers in order to get the same level of enthusiasm from their pupils."
