About STEP

STEP – Southwark Theatres' Education Partnership

STEP is a borough-wide partnership linking the theatre community and education and youth sector in the London Borough of Southwark. STEP aims to equalise, extend and deepen the theatre and drama experience of all young people living in Southwark through the development of strategic partnerships between schools, youth and community groups and theatres and performing arts organisations. STEP's objective is to work closely with Southwark schools, youth and community groups and theatres and performing arts organisations to develop creative approaches to learning and provide innovative projects which stimulate children and young people's personal development and contribute to their educational attainment.

Since April 2007, Theatre Peckham has hosted STEP (Southwark Theatres' Education Partnership) in their offices. Theatre Peckham has been heavily involved with the development of STEP since its inception in 2003. Over the last three years, STEP and Theatre Peckham have developed an extensive partnership, sharing knowledge and expertise and supporting each other's programmes of work with young people in Southwark. Theatre Peckham also hosts many STEP events and is a major contributor to many of STEP's programmes of work such as the Diploma in Creative and Media.
