With the conversation in focus, we perform theater for young people in their arenas

UngHästen meets around 8000 young people every year. We are mainly target secondary schools, and works with theater as an educational tool to open up conversations about current, sensitive and difficult topics.

Since its inception in 2000, we have performed shows about mental illness, bullying, etc, sex and cohabitation, racism, domestic violence, partying and its consequences, forbidden love and identity.

Through theater performances we want to touch and evoke emotions

Our performances are predominantly performed in classrooms, for one class at a time, where the focus is on proximity to the individuals and immersion in a topic that engages.

We attach great importance to the aftercare that follows directly on on the spot after each performance. In the conversation you meets differentpeople's opinions, and often it is only then that one's own position is tested and allowed to become clear, strengthened or changed. Learning and development take place in the discussion.

Performing for schoolchildren means meeting an audience that has not chosen to go to the theater themselves. In classroomsmbut we reach me reach people who would otherwise never come into contact with the theater form. Our audience will go from a performance and a conversation with a positive feeling of having an artistic experience and above all felt involved, heard and seen.

The performances are always attended by educators and representatives from student health services.

Ve are a complement to schools' core values work

In our work, we address current core value issues that schools welcome as a complement their teaching. Working together with the school and teachers is important to us and a necessity for everything to work. Teachers participate in the same way as pupils, so that they can then continue to work with their class based on the conversations started by us.

We work in line with the new curriculum and complement the school's core values.

We aim to give every student a voice and therefore work mostly in small groups, class by classroom, and hope to inspire teachers in their continued daily work with core values.

All our performances fall within the framework of creative school.
