Situation
Disability awareness is a hot topic right now, with publicly funded bodies such as schools and NGO's required to demonstrate how they are advancing equality and diversity within their organisations. Businesses are also aware of managing the risks of discriminating against people with disabilities and are seeking to understand how to create a more inclusive workplace.
Solution
Thessaly theatre is a group made up of Orpheus alumni. They offer training through interactive theatre and live performance, focusing on the issues and challenges our young people have experienced in life and in the workplace. Participants will be able to see if they can resolve some of these conflicts. Participants will gain practical knowledge and experience which will allow them to make a tangible difference in their place of work. Our alumni will also have the opportunity to engage in paid employment.
