Day 5: Friday 11 October: Drama for a Cause
Today's cause: Developing empathy, compassion and kindness.

The programme will kick off with an inspirational talk from Selwyn College student, Yvette who is a youth activist.

Following this, the group will spend the day with drama teacher June Renwick.

June say: "Come along and have an exciting day of drama. While having fun, you will play drama games, experience improvisations and work as a group to create a presentation that is grounded in values of empathy, compassion and kindness with an understanding of diversity. At the end of the day, you'll share your experiences in an entertainment for your parents and caregivers."
