In memory of Mia Janin and with gratitude to Mariano Janin .janin whose story was the inspiration for this project and to the Sarah Jane Leigh Charitable Trust for their generous support.
‘You’re So Real’ Schools Tour played to 3,000 students across Haringey and is now being made into a full-length film for schools after a special guest performance was hosted by Alexandra Palace. This short film highlights the impact of storytelling through drama and the importance of bringing the action directly into schools.
Developed with Year 5 learners from Fitzjohn’s Primary School in Hampstead, ‘You’re So Real’ is a performance and workshop that aims to engage and educate children and young people, giving them space to explore and reflect on what challenges may come their way in the future.
‘You’re So Real’ is dedicated to Mia Janin. Mia died by su***de as a consequence of the online bullying that she experienced as a teenager during secondary school. The play has been funded by the SJLCT in order
to help children, families and schools explore healthier safeguarding for young people using social media. It encourages children to ask for help if
they are experiencing bullying, or to take responsibility for their actions, by raising awareness of the potential dangers of social media and online
culture.
Thank you to all the schools and our incredible audience members, particularly those who feature in this film.
Thank you to the Anti-bullying Alliance for collaborating with us to create our Teachers Pack.
Thank you to the Ally Pally team for being incredible hosts.
And congratulations to the Creative team for their talent and hard work on this production.
