2017 - 2023 : YTT DEI (Diversity, Equity & inclusion) Education Program (through the YTT theatre approach).
Impact:
700 University students participated in the program.
2 Universities: 1. Sheffield Hallam University. 2. University of the West of Scotland.
Our DEI program, implemented the YTT theatre-based approach for University students. This program played a pivotal role in fostering an environment characterised by acceptance and encouragement for children hailing from diverse backgrounds and possessing varying abilities. Through active participation in this program, attendees witnessed a significant improvement in their understanding of inclusivity, thereby equipping them with essential skills to address the complex challenges involved in promoting a more inclusive community. The program effectively cultivated a profound sense of belonging and collaboration among the participants, allowing them to build meaningful connections and develop essential teamwork skills. Furthermore, the program not only enriched their social interactions but also empowered them to become advocates for inclusiveness in their own circles, thereby extending the positive impact of the initiative beyond the immediate setting.

2019 - 2023: YTT GBV (gender based violence) Survivor Comprehension for Law Enforcement (through the YTT theatre approach).
Impact:
40 senior police officers from the Madhya Pradesh police participated in the program.
1 University & 1 Law Enforcement Agency: 1. Sheffield Hallam University (co delivered with the departments of Law & Humanities and of Humanities). 2. The Madhya Pradesh Police Force, India.
Our GBV Survivor Comprehension for Law Enforcement program is an innovative theatre-based educational initiative that enhances the understanding and empathy towards survivors of gender-based violence. Through immersive role-playing, interactive performances, and guided discussions, participants were encouraged to step into the shoes of survivors, exploring their experiences, challenges, and the societal implications of GBV. By fostering a deep emotional connection and critical reflection, the program equipped the police officers with the necessary skills to respond more sensitively and effectively to cases of GBV, ultimately leading to improved support for survivors and a more compassionate approach to law enforcement.

2017 : YTT Art-Therapy Mental Healthcare Program
​
Impact:
18 men participated in our workshops.
Refugee Centre: 1. Sheffield Refugee Centre, Sheffield.
Our Art-Therapy Mental Health Support program utilised artistic therapeutic methods to assist participants, primarily from Somali and Sudan, in coping with anxiety and depression, while enhancing emotional resilience and general well-being. Targeting refugees and asylum seekers who encountered distinct challenges and traumas, the program enabled these individuals to creatively express themselves, facilitating the processing of their experiences and emotions. In line with the YTT Learning Approach, the program employed evidence-based strategies and tailored interventions to cater to the unique requirements of each participant. This comprehensive approach also fostered a deeper sense of community and connection among the participants.
