Knife Crime – The Big Talk Event – Tuesday 28 February

Posted by

The Deputy Mayor Sophie Linden will be hosting an interactive Big Talk event to engage both young people and practitioners about knife crime in London.

The Big Talk event will be held on: Tuesday 28 February, 6pm to 9pm at Sedgehill School, Sedgehill Road, London, SE6 3QW

You are invited to join us and participate at this event, which will be a good opportunity to hear directly from young people on their views on knife crime and youth violence, and, also for you to provide any insights which you would like to share. There is a strict maximum of 100 attendees, I would be grateful if you could register your attendance using the link below, but also confirming your attendance with myself.

ü The dialogue will be made up of 3 circles, the Outer circle: where participants will discuss the three set questions on social media, using #BigTalk01.

ü The Middle circle: observes the discussion and the Inner circle: participants sit and share their views. Once they have made their points, others can tap them on the shoulder and ask them to leave so that other people can have their say.

ü The only rule is you must enter the inner circle before you talk.

We really do hope that you can attend. Please register here for a free ticket. If you are unable to attend, may I ask that you share this invitation with a representative who could attend on your behalf. Also please do feel free to share this with any young people who you think would be interested in attending.

Kind regards

New places available for Tabard Drama group

Thank you for your interest in the Unicorn Theatre’s Tabard Gardens community-based Drama group.

The Unicorn Theatre is a leading children’s theatre based on Tooley Street, London Bridge.

The Drama group is offered FREE to children living on the Tabard Gardens council estate and to children from local neighbouring council estates close to Tabard Gardens. The Drama group runs term-time after school one afternoon a week at St George the Martyr Church, Borough High Street, SE1. The Unicorn Theatre runs community projects throughout the year and we want to run a community project that connects with a local community near to our theatre.

Children do not need previous Drama experience – we would love to meet some children who want to give it a go for the first time. There are so many positive benefits in taking part in a regular Drama group including- social benefits, developing confidence and communication skills, learning to think creatively, and learning about theatre arts for self-expression.

The group runs term-time weekly on Tuesdays from 16.30 – 17.45 in the Crypt at St George the Martyr Church. The group is open to 8-11 year olds.

Term dates for spring: Tuesday 17th January – Tuesday 28th March 2016 (the group will not run on Tuesday 14th Feb during half-term)

The children will also be invited to attend free theatre trips at the Unicorn Theatre to extend their experience and enjoyment.

In order to register your interest – please contact Sally Pembroke with your name, child’s name, child’s age (D.O.B), full address and how you heard about the opportunity.  Please note, you need to book via Sally and fill out application forms before your child can start attending the drama group. Please check you are eligible within the criteria or contact Sally. Please note there are limited places and places will be reserved on a first come first serve basis.

Look forward to hearing from you!
