The Project
Our most popular project. An exciting, immersive, full day of workshops that focuses on young people as they navigate relationships, pressure, sexuality, consent, and the impact of ailing mental health.
The day aims to give young people the skills to make the most fulfilling and healthy choices for them, without shame and based on a knowledge of the psychology, sociology and biology around sex and relationships.
Our new format brings facilitators and performers into direct contact for a whole day. Working in rotation we deliver to a full year group. Each workshop can range from 50 - 90 minutes for up to 65 students at a time, run by our staff, with extensive classroom resources provided for optional teacher-led sessions. The workshops include performances, open debate, and engaging activities,
The day culminates in a final session with performances that bring together all the workshops and themes. with an option to add on an anonymous Q&A, focussing on the facts.
How the Day Works

@TOTItheatre You made Friday #sexed the best it could be, which was very awkward and easy to laugh at. But you taught a lot. Thanks!
STATUTORY RSE GUIDELINES COVERED INCLUDE
By supporting confidence and self-esteem, RSE will enable young people to make their own choices about whether or when to develop safe, fulfilling and healthy sexual relationships
That the co-occurrence of alcohol/drug use and poor mental health is common and that the relationship is bi-directional
That worrying and feeling down are normal, can affect everyone at different times and are not in themselves a sign of a mental health condition,
How stereotypes, in particular stereotypes based on sex, gender reassignment, race, religion, sexual orientation or disability, can cause damage.
Provide young people with the information they need to develop healthy, safe and nurturing relationships.
Pupils should understand the serious risks of sending material to others, including the law concerning the sharing of images.
Pupils should have an opportunity to discuss how some sub-cultures might influence our understanding of sexual ethics
Include the knowledge they need in later life to keep themselves and others safe, and how to avoid sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies.
