A very exciting collaborative project between the iDCNlab and Cardboard Citizens has just been funded. The project, led by Tony McBride, will involve the development of a forum theatre play called Meta focusing on the teenage brain and self-regulation and metacognition during adolescence. The play will be toured in schools in Tower Hamlet to adolescent audiences and a few additional representations will be presented to a broader audience. This project follows on from a previous project called A matter of mind, and will allow the evaluation of forum theatre as a tool to engage teenagers in science and develop their awareness of the self-regulation challenges of adolescence.
