OC Impact
Led by qualified facilitators and trained ex-offenders, OC Impact uses theatre, role play and music to engage students at risk of anti-social behaviour, challenging attitudes to peer pressure, drugs and weapons, identity and difference, negative associations and street culture. Performances are devised by OC members, using personal testimonies and experiences which are then professionally scripted and directed. Sessions are high-impact, energetic and interactive and can be delivered to both large and small groups of young people. They are designed to improve behaviour and learning, through debating the possible alternatives to anti-social behaviour and committing crime.
