Open Drama UK was a national networking platform set up in 2019 to bring Drama teachers, practitioners and industry experts together to ‘advance, improve and benefit young people through Drama.’ Through their networks they ran face to face and online events which were accessed free of charge until Dec 2024. Their resources, workshops and events covered a wide range of information which was relevant and topical. They worked across the sector to ensure young people accessed Drama in schools and/or via an extra curricular provision whilst being educated about diversity, disabilities and sexual discrimination through their training and resources for teachers and practitioners.
