TRUTH ABOUT YOUTH

The Royal Exchange Theatre is one of seven organizations across Britain working in partnership with the Co-operative Foundation to deliver their major initiative, Truth about Youth, which challenges and changes negative perceptions about young people by supporting projects which enable them to work with adults, the media and the wider community. Throughout the year there are opportunities for both young people (aged 14 - 21) and adults (aged 55+) to sign up for a range of projects and one-off events which take place over school/college holidays, at weekends and on some evenings.
