Drama
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts."
William Shakespeare
Drama is vital for young people because it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and empathy. It allows them to explore diverse perspectives, understand complex emotions, and engage with social issues in a meaningful way. Through collaboration and performance, young people develop confidence, communication skills, and teamwork. Drama also provides a safe space for self-discovery and helps build a sense of community, encouraging a deeper connection to both the arts and the world around them. In essence, Drama empowers young people to grow both artistically and personally.
