Dealing with Bullying:

School’s Out: Oldham Project – call for artists

The project is aimed at children aged 9 – 15 and their parents/carers, and possibly their social workers. The aim is to create a book dealing with the experience of bullying and ways of coping with it.

There will be 4 sessions each lasting 4 hours. The sessions will take place in Oldham in July & August 2012, dates tbc. A different group of 20 – 30 participants will attend each session.

Within each group, there may be some participants who know one another, but none is an established group. Participants will be recruited by advertising the workshops to local authorities, schools and fostering agencies. During the sessions, participants will learn together about bullying and its effects and how the children feel about what may be happening to them or to their friends/family.

Each session will begin with a Forum style drama workshop followed by an afternoon session involving participants in a discussion on views of bullying, getting their reactions to the drama and producing creative writing around bullying. The session will end with readings of some of the written work.

The collated writings resulting from the four sessions will be edited and published by Equality and Diversity UK Ltd and Alpha Plus fostering agency who have commissioned the project.

The sessions will be organised and run by Alyson Malach of Equality & Diversity UK Ltd in Bury.

Equality & Diversity are looking for a writer or theatre company who can deliver all four of the sessions in the programme, and who have already devised an appropriate drama piece. You must have experience of collaborative work with mixed age groups and vulnerable children and young people, and successfully engaging such groups in creative writing.

The fee is based on two artists delivering (£ 220.00 per session) 4 days in total (£880.00)
