Where do YOU draw the line?

Open dialogue is the key to a healthy cohesive society, but some fear the disruptive, dangerous potential of truly free speech. TRIPWIRES uses the arts to create an open space where young people can explore and express their own lines on freedom of expression, self-censorship and offence.

TRIPWIRES delivered by Project Phakama Uk and Index on Censorship, will train 15 young people in leadership skills using theatre to explore ‘the line’ where we draw it, what we do when someone crosses the line. Following outreach with peer groups, they will create a multi-art form Performed Magazine presenting a wide range of expression on the issue. Content from this will inform new resources for formal and informal education.
