Compass Workshops for Schools & ESOL Colleges
Do you work with young refugees and asylum seekers?
Commission us to deliver specialist drama workshops in your school or college!
We deliver high-energy, joy-filled drama workshops designed to support ESOL students in building confidence, developing English language skills, and strengthening teamwork - all while having fun.
Our workshops combine theatre, improvisation, movement and storytelling. Our expert facilitators foster a welcoming, playful space where every student feels empowered to participate. For students who are new to speaking English, who want to build confidence, or would benefit from developing creative expression, we provide an engaging environment that encourages both personal growth and connection with peers.
We can tailor our workshops to your needs, aims and curriculum, and can develop bespoke packages from one-off sessions to full projects and programmes.
Compass workshops are always led by at least one of our Associate Artists - expert facilitators with years of experience working with young refugees and asylum seekers - and at least one of our Compass Ambassadors - professional facilitators with lived experience as young refugees in the UK who have completed our training scheme and are developing their practice working alongside our Associate Artists.
Thank you so much for organising this and please extend my warmest thanks to Victor, Massi, and Yordanos for their excellent work. The students absolutely loved the session and had a great time. Even the shyest participants were fully engaged and enjoyed themselves. The teachers couldn’t recommend it enough! They highlighted how well the facilitators involved everyone, maintained excellent language grading, and created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for the students.
