Breaking Barriers invite young people to a live performance of Crossing the Line, followed by a facilitated discussion workshop to unpack the themes.
Crossing the Line is an important preventative learning tool for young people.
The piece explores child criminal exploitation (CCE) through a monologue from 18 year old Sean to his younger brother, Ben. Sean talks about the ‘elders’ (gang members) who try to give him trainers in return for running errands for them.
Crossing the Line is a way to engage with children and teach them about:
- healthy choices
- healthy relationships
- saying no / peer pressure
- grooming
- who to talk to / safe routes to help
