Eco Drama is passionate about making high quality, inventive theatre and creative learning experiences for children which nurture and inspire a sense of curiosity, wonder and care for our natural world. We aim to ignite a curiosity and love of nature when children are young so that they benefit at the time and are also more likely to grow up to be adults who care about their environment. Eco Drama’s theatre productions, creative projects and workshops are delivered in schools, theatres, community venues and festivals across Scotland and the UK, with a particular focus in Glasgow where we are based. All our work is in response to increasing evidence of children’s disconnection from nature which is particularly noticeable in areas of socio-economic deprivation where children often face significant barriers to spending time outdoors and engaging with nature due to issues such as limited access to green spaces, parental concerns about local safety and limited access to transport.

Objectives: 4.1 To advance education by increasing awareness of environmental issues through participation in drama and theatre. 4.2 To advance citizenship or community development by encouraging community participation, organising and delivering theatre experiences and raising awareness about conservation and environmental issues. 4.3 The advancement of the arts, heritage, and culture by offering theatre and arts experiences for children, young people and the wider community. 4.4 The advancement of environmental protection or improvement by promoting the natural environment in schools and communities, the usage of alternative energy sources, waste reduction, recycling, energy conservation, travel efficiency, sustainable, healthy food choices and carbon emission reduction.
