These Include:
Camden Summer University: Central is pleased to once again be working with The London Borough of Camden’s youth project, Camden Summer University. This summer, 14 - 18-year-olds across the borough will be involved with free activities including creating a play in a week and an introduction to performance design. Camden Summer University is Camden’s longest running youth project bringing together young people who live or study in Camden to experience activities and tasters from amazing organisations based in the borough. As well as Central, partnership organisations also include The British Museum, ZSL London Zoo and The British Library.
Generation Arts: For the first time since 2019, and following a pause due to the pandemic, Central is delighted to support outreach partners Generation Arts to bring back their three-week summer school, which allows young people from across the capital to experience a free taster of actor training.
