RADA provides vital learning opportunities for disadvantaged young people in London who are interested in pursuing a career in the dramatic arts (acting and technical theatre). We encourage engagement from young people living in poverty and people from BAME backgrounds.

Situation
With continued cuts to arts education young people are receiving less exposure to the arts, most notably pupils from BAME backgrounds and low income families who are less likely to have access to the dramatic arts outside the classroom. RADA as a leader in training recognises that it is our responsibility to encourage diverse participation within higher education by creating accessible pathways to it.
Solution
Inclusivity and access are themes deeply embedded in RADA’s ethos. We are committed to reducing barriers to theatre by actively seeking to engage people with little or no access to the arts. Every year we enable people of all financial and social backgrounds to experience performing arts education of the highest standard. In comparison with other UK conservatoires, we offer the most robust widening participation and outreach programme, reaching over 2,500 disadvantaged young people each year.
