    • Stop In Your Tracks - Rail Safety and Risk Taking Behaviours

    Developed in partnership with Arc Infrastructure (managers of WA’s freight rail network), Stop In Your Tracks commences with the screening of a short film that explores the importance of safety around trains and rail, as well as unpacking the dangers.

    Utilising Forum Theatre techniques, students engage in facilitated, interactive discussions about why young people take risks, before participating in immersive learning through roleplay and playbacks of scenarios from the film, examining how external factors such as peer pressure influence our choices and behaviours.

    This approach encourages the audience to utilise critical thinking skills around safety and decision making, paving the way for exploring practical solutions together.

    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.
