After a successful pilot phase from Autumn 2021, the National Theatre has announced it will expand its Speak Up programme to work with almost 140,000 young people in 55 secondary schools nationwide across the next three years. 

Responding to the current challenges in schools, Speak Up is the NT’s new national programme which unites local artists and teachers with young people who have been affected by the pandemic to co-create art. 

The programme aims to support young people to express themselves, develop their skills and wellbeing. As part of the programme, NT is collaborating with LUNG as creative associates to deliver the training of artists and teachers.
