The Media Workshop has been working alongside the Challenge and Support Team at Southampton City Council and drama practitioner Annie Sanger-Davies to deliver a series of workshops which aim to help young people use body language in positive ways.

Using drama based exercises and a photo studio set up we’ve been helping young people investigate how to use body language to their positive advantage in different situations. For instance: if they’re being bullied; going for an interview; dealing with conflict or aggression; meeting new friends. etc. Each young person takes away a personalised booklet at the end of the programme, which serves as a body language ‘tool kit’ that they can refer to whenever they need it in the future.
