Following on from a successful 2022, the Youth Board of Youth Theatre Ireland is looking for new membership! This year the youth board will be further developing links between membership and Youth Theatre Ireland, as well as working with Youth Theatre Ireland to create social media content promoting Youth Theatre Ireland and Youth Theatre as a whole.
The Youth Board will meet once a month over Zoom for a short check in, and will have four projects throughout the year:
A day with the staff of YTI and guest facilitator on April 11th
Delivering the Member’s Forum Workshop at the National Festival of Youth Theatres
A strategic meeting in August (to coincide with a trip to the National Youth Theatre)
Attendance at the Youth Theatre Ireland Practice Symposium in Cork in November
and delivering a keynote speech at the Symposium
Joining the youth board is a great way to meet like-minded youth theatre members, be more involved in youth theatre nationally, and help raise the profile of youth theatre! Youth Board members are also occasionally asked to sit on panels for statutory bodies who seek a youth voice.
More information is available by emailing cathal@youththeatre.ie. If you are interested, please fill out this form here by March 10th.
