We at Diverse Voices CIO are a performing arts in education charity. We use the arts and interactive Want to support the work we do?

We provide an extensive selection of workshops ranging from training in performing arts skills and techniques to tackling various relevant issues using drama. Another way we address these subjects is through our various Theatre-in-Education (TIE) Performances. Our TIE performances use comedy as a tool to engage the audience, while presenting serious issues through easily identifiable characters th

ey can relate to. We tailor make our performances to address specific requirements and subject matters and have had great success and positive feedback touring our productions. We have a JustGiving page here: https://donate.justgiving.com/donation-amount?uri=aHR0cHM6Ly9kb25hdGUtYXBpLmp1c3RnaXZpbmcuY29tL2FwaS9kb25hdGlvbnMvYjI5YzE2MWNjZjEyNDY5MjlmNzRjZmFlYzYxZTkwODA/aXNDaGVja291dEFwaT1mYWxzZQ==

Here is the first clip from our BBC Radio London interview with Nikki Bedi, and it is one close to our hearts.

Diverse Voices founders Dwayne Gumbs and Alex Williams talk about the power of arts-based learning and why, for the young people we work with, it is often the approach that reaches them when nothing else has.

Fifteen years of this work has shown us what is possible when you give young people a creative space. We hope this clip gives you a sense of that too.

More clips from the interview coming soon, please share this one if it resonates.

From the classroom to BFI Southbank, and now to the world. Our DVSS students wrote it, filmed it, screened it, and now we are sharing it with everyone.

This is what happens when young people are given the space, support, and belief to create.

We couldn't be more proud of every single person who made this film possible.

According to Ofsted, nearly 90% of girls and almost 50% of boys said that being sent explicit pictures or videos they didn't want to see happens a lot or sometimes, to them or their peers.

These statistics are a call to action. Young people need meaningful RSE education that addresses the reality of their lives online.
That's exactly what our learning portal and teachers resources are designed to do, giving primary and secondary school teachers lesson plans, discussion tools, and our unique hot-seating feature to bring these topics to life in the classroom.

Thousands of children are being contacted by strangers through social media and gaming platforms and many don’t realise how quickly an online conversation can become unsafe.

In our PSHE/RSE workshops, we cover the key topics required under the national curriculum, including online safety, grooming tactics, image sharing, consent and UK law.
Through film, drama and open discussion, we help young people recognise risk early, trust their instincts and stay safe online.

How confident are you in the UK laws around age of consent, po*******hy and illegal imagery? Most young people don’t know the UK laws around consent, po*******hy or illegal images and predators rely on that.

In our PSHE/RSE workshops we break down the law clearly and teach online safety, grooming, image sharing, consent and boundaries in a way young people actually understand and remember.
