Schools workshops on having an imprisoned family member

4th December 2009

FFP and the company Splint have developed a workshop for youth on being a young person with an imprisoned family member. Through Forum Theatre methods involving audience participation we explore what it can be like for a young person to have a parent or another close person in prison. We also focus on how to be a good friend to someone who is imprisoned.

The workshop has been carried out in several schools, and the response has been positive. The young people get very much involved in the workshop, they ask questions, discuss solutions and show empathy.
