Unlock Drama’s recent violence reduction project at a prison has shown profound impacts, opening new pathways of understanding and empathy among participants. A powerful testimonial from one of our participants illustrates the transformative experience:
“It has opened my eyes to knife crime from the victim’s perspective… I never saw it from the victim’s point of view before. But after this course, I have managed to see things from the victim’s perspective and reflected on the impact of violence on everyone involved.”
This feedback underscores the importance of our drama initiatives in fostering not just a change in behaviour but a profound shift in how individuals perceive and empathise with others. Drama creates a unique space for offenders to confront the impacts of their actions, leading to powerful personal insights and real changes in attitude that ripple out into the community; reducing the likelihood of repeat offending.
We are committed to continuing our work in reducing violence and promoting understanding through the creative expression of theatre. Join us in supporting transformative programs that make a real difference.
