The Paper Birds have carved a reputation over the last 15 years as one of the UK’s leading devising theatre specialists, working with young people across the UK and internationally. Our Participation programme is a core part of our identity and purpose as an organisation.

Each year, The Paper Birds empower thousands of young people through our Participation programme, providing young participants with the opportunity to engage in workshops, perform locally and to co-author work, developing confidence and vital life and creative skills. Our Participation work supports young people to be heard, to find their voice and to make their mark. It equips them with the tools to be active citizens and become artists and audiences of the future.
