These are set out in two research documents: Excellent Youth Theatre and Inclusive Youth Theatre.

Excellent Youth Theatre discusses how to recognise and value excellence in youth theatre whilst continuing to embrace and celebrate the diverse range of organisations, groups and practices which form the youth theatre sector.

Inclusive Youth Theatre discusses ways you can ensure your youth theatre reflects and serves the diversity of your local community and put young peoples voices at the core of your work.

You can buy Excellent Youth Theatre and Inclusive Youth Theatre in our shop.
