Campaign idea: Michael mentors youth through theatre
After facing knife crime and gang pressure as a teenager in London, Michael found theatre and became a director and mentor.
This story
Michael moved to London from France at age ten and faced knife crime and trouble with the police as a teenager. A drama teacher introduced him to theatre at 15, giving him an alternative to the streets. He went on to study inclusive performance and now works as an artistic staff member, theatre director, and youth mentor.
