Ashleigh's work experience blog
When we go to a Yew Tree Youth Theatre session we are welcomed in to a safe and friendly community. We are given fantastic direction from our youth theatre leaders, however, when you have been there for a long time you can momentarily forget how amazingly lucky we are to have these people teaching us. My work experience has made sure this will never happen to me again.
The biggest thing Yew Tree has done for me is build confidence and this week I have seen the confidence in others built within workshops and sessions. The day of workshops with Aim Higher at the University of York showed this so much. The purpose of the day was to make the students taking part aware of what they need to achieve, and how university would benefit them. Sarah, Danny, and Gemma lead parts of the workshop. The game we did not only made the students feel more comfortable, they built their confidence within themselves and their choices to go to university or not, and how they can achieve their goals.
The stamina needed is immense; we did three 1 hour 20 minute workshops back to back. They all followed the same structure but because it was a different group of people each time everyone had different opinions and goals.
My time on work experience has made it very clear to me how Yew Tree has not only benefited me, but how it has benefited so many people even outside the youth theatre.
