The course teaching team includes practice-based researchers Lisa Stephenson and Dr Tom Dobson, experts in drama and creative writing pedagogies respectively, who will share their live projects* with you.
You’ll be invited to join Story Makers Company, an organisation founded by Lisa to give young people the power to create stories through drama and creative writing.

Placement opportunities will enable you to put your skills into practice. You might already be working in a school where you’ll have the option to apply your learning to new creative processes.
