Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation (CSSF) is a national cultural education charity that exists to instil curiosity and empathy, aspiration and self-esteem, literacy and teamwork - giving young people the confidence to stride onto whatever stage they choose. Our programmes follow a rigorous and supportive process to train teachers and young people in an active and ambitious way of working with Shakespeare.
My team runs the World's largest youth drama festival. We support young people aged 8-18 from all different backgrounds to perform at their local theatre.
As part of this we hire and train facilitators and theatre makers to work in schools and theatres across the UK.
