Summer workshops for young people
Fun, supportive summer workshops designed to help young people build confidence, creativity and communication skills through laughter, games and creativity.
Run by Tamworth comedian Jules O’Brian, who many local parents and former pupils will remember as “Miss Brain” from her years teaching secondary school English locally, these workshops are designed to feel relaxed, welcoming, and encouraging—definitely not like school.
The sessions are aimed at young people aged 10–14 and will run in small groups of approximately 10 children at a time, helping to create a friendly atmosphere where everybody feels comfortable joining in at their own level.
Nobody will ever be forced to stand up and perform if they don’t want to. The focus is on confidence growing naturally through fun, teamwork and laughter.
What will we be doing?
Activities may include
- Fun confidence-building games;
- Creative comedy and storytelling activities;
- Team challenges and icebreakers;
- Optional microphone work for children who’d like to give it a try;
- Comedy-based communication activities;
- Improvisation and imagination games;
- Relaxed social interaction away from screens and social media.
These workshops are ideal for:
- Young people who lack confidence;
- Children who overthink or worry about “getting things wrong;”
- Creative children who need an outlet;
- Young people who would benefit from gentle encouragement socially;
- Children who simply enjoy comedy, creativity, and having fun.
