   Anti-Social Behaviour - Why For?

Format: Half day interactive workshop

Brief
In consultation with Wear Kids Tackle it, Gibber devised a new theatre in education program of work to explore the issue of alcohol misuse and it’s impact on the community in the form of anti social behaviour and alcohol related crimes.

Results
Year 6 pupils actively participated throughout the workshop developing their enquiry, communication and problem solving skills.

Issues covered included, the importance and understanding of social rules, the need to fit in, peer pressure, bullying, the dangers and consequences of anti-social behaviour, how our actions impact on others and personal safety.

Through experiential learning we promote self-worth, create relationships based on trust and ensure every young person is listened to and valued. The children are able to observe how some of their, ‘seemingly innocent’ behaviour can have a negative effect on the people around them and are able to define what constitutes anti-social behaviour.

The workshops proved to be an empowering experience for the participants who learnt that they have the power to chose for themselves and “say no” if they don’t want to indulge in anti-social activities.
