Southwark Theatres' Education Partnership (STEP)

STEP is a borough-wide partnership linking the theatre community and education sector in the London Borough of Southwark.  

Southwark Council is one of STEP's strategic partners.

STEP aims to equalise, extend and deepen the theatre and drama experience of all young people living in Southwark through the development of strategic partnerships between schools, youth and community groups and theatres and performing arts organisations. STEP aims to encourage young people to achieve their full potential through the creative force of theatre and performing arts activities. 

STEP's objective is to work closely with Southwark schools, youth and community groups and theatres and performing arts organisations to develop creative approaches to learning and provide innovative projects which stimulate children and young people's personal development and contribute to their educational attainment.
