#SEIZE THE DAY

Coordinated by the Drama and Theatre Education Alliance with the aim to raise the profile of Drama in schools & theatre for children & young people, taking place from the 20th-27th March 2024. Drama in schools and theatre for young audiences are facing numerous challenges, but the DTEA is committed to ensuring that every child and young person has access to high quality drama and theatre education regardless of their background or where they live.

Children and young people that engage in drama and theatre feel happier, more confident and creative and perform better in all subjects, but we need decision makers government, MPs and school governors - to understand the value of drama and theatre education. You don’t have to do anything special - just do whatever it is you do best, and whatever you do, shout about it! Film it, photograph it, document the event. We need decision makers to witness this, to appreciate the value of drama and theatre in education, and to recognise the wider effect it has on schools and communities, so invite your MP, mayor, councillors, school governors, parents, and local press - anyone who influences how much drama and theatre is done for children and young people.
