Laugh it off with the Comedy Trust - for 16-24s

Are you 16-24, know you need to build useful skills but not sure what you want to do next? Don't worry - just laugh it off with the Comedy Trust! 

A practitioner from the Comedy Trust will be leading a six week workshop to help young people feel more confident and positive by 'having a laugh'. 

The workshops will focus on mindfulness and wellbeing. They will be different each week and will include comedy, creative writing, fun games, performances and a whole lot more. 

No experience is needed, workshops are open to all young people aged 16-24 years old. 

There'll be an opportunity to produce work from the sessions for a touring exhibition at the end of the 6 weeks of workshops. The exhibition will develop your employability skills including organisational, management, communication, research, writing, decision-making and negotiation skills.

You will also gain skills to help you to work as a team. The sessions will help to build career understanding from exposure to heritage, culture, and healthcare, and you will find out about new employment avenues.

Workshops are free but places are limited so please book a ticket in advance.

Dates are Sundays 6, 13 and 20 October and 3, 10, 17 November.

It would be really good if you could attend all six sessions but if you can't, it's OK - feel free to book on to the ones that you're available for.

If you have any questions, please email youngpeople@liverpoolmuseums.org.uk
