Teenagers

At JGCL, teenagers express themselves at their best

JGCL's programmes for teenagers promote not only EduDrama skills of vocal and written expression, but enable teenagers to talk to their peers about the pressures of school, family expectations and growing up, free from the pressure of academic achievement. Their role model? An energised facilitator trained to tap teenagers' attitudes and creativity.

Teenager programmes cover all aspects of our EduDrama (speech, drama, language skills) programmes but it does so with the dual goals of assisting in the development of the teenager's confidence, and as a liberal arts platform from which a teenager may begin a lifelong love of a subject, author, or discipline.

Teens' Club

Activities include: voice and speech development, communication skills, acting and performance skills, improvisation, creative writing (including narrative, poetry, reports and script writing), story telling, presentation skills and debate.

Each session is designed to stimulate the imagination with many tasks requiring students to think on their feet. Students learn to improve individually and in teams,to problem solve, think and write critically, use expressive language to a high degree, and persuade others to their point of view. Material used is appealing and relevant to teenagers today, whilst also challenging them to contribute their thoughts and ideas about topical issues and current affairs.
