    • Hit The Road

    Guy and Jacqui are keen to have a turn of Kev’s newly modified eScooter, but Sandy isn’t sure it’s worth it. After getting swept up in the risk and fun, it’s not long before the friends find themselves in a situation they never wanted to be in.

    Students engage in facilitated, interactive discussions about why young people take risks, before participating in replays of scenarios, examining how external factors influence our choices and behaviours.

    Concepts addressed:

    • Road safety
    • eRideable use and safety
    • Risk taking behaviours and the potential consequences
    • Peer pressure
    • Decision making and how our choices impact others
    • Help seeking behaviours and pathways

    Why choose our Youth Choices programs

    In the high-pressure world of secondary school, traditional ‘instruction’ rarely leads to behavioural change. Our Youth Choices suite uses ‘Forum Theatre’ – an evidence-based methodology where students become active participants in the narrative. By allowing teens to stop the action and trial different solutions to issues like consent, substance use, and mental health, we provide a rehearsal space for life. This ‘theatre of the oppressed’ style engagement is proven to increase retention and empower students to find their own voice.

    We don’t shy away from the hard conversations. Our programs are developed in consultation with subject matter experts and Western Australian youth to ensure the scenarios reflect the actual lived experiences of today’s teenagers. Choosing Youth Choices means providing your school with a high-impact, peer-led experience that challenges prejudices, builds emotional intelligence, and equips young adults with the ethical framework to navigate adulthood safely.
