A case study exploring the development of youth voice and empowerment through aerial theatre.
Three papers offer different examples of projects and different engagement approaches across 4 years of work: engagement through developing youth voice; young people as co-constructors of their own learning; and young people steering change. The papers consider the conditions for empowering young people, the role a creative practitioner can play to support equal collaborations, artistic development, professional development skills, and the outcomes and lessons learnt for all partners in the process.

One that utilises the collaborative approaches and critical thinking skills that creative practices demand in order that they can evaluate the quality of their learning environment and articulate their own personal needs/requirements as equal partners in the school institution.
