Drilling Diamonds
Newham (2025)
Our flagship youth project, Drilling Diamonds, came to schools in Newham in 2025 as part of the government’s SAFE Taskforce initiative.
Through ten, 2 hour sessions of improvised performance, storytelling and creative writing the groups explored challenging relationships in a fun environment. We used our unique blend of drama techniques and conflict resolution strategies to develop a sense of community, which fostered positive relationships and wellbeing.
Throughout the Spring and Summer terms, we delivered our Drilling Diamonds programme to Year 9, 10, and 11 pupils across four Newham schools: Kingsford Community School, Little Ilford School, School 21, and Education Links.
