This presentation reports on the Building Collective Resilience Project - Stream 5, which explores the impact of theatre on the lives of young people. This project aims to crystalise the value of theatre engagement for young people, collating research and transforming anecdotal observations into a structured, evidence-based framework. The insights gathered seek to inform theatre practitioners, educators, and policymakers, providing a robust foundation for future initiatives and advocacy in youth theatre. Our approach integrates a systematic literature review and evidence gap map with insights from ‘grey literature’ and direct feedback from theatre practitioners and participants, offering a comprehensive view of the current landscape and identifying pivotal areas for future exploration.
