CAST is unique in the way we work with global communities. We look at local governments, their education criteria and creating workshops that both support and amplify their own teaching policies. We seek to find the gaps in both techniques and resources helping to fill them with exciting and inspirational projects for young people.
Our training projects enable local teachers to integrate creative learning into their teaching practice without disrupting their timetables and can be adapted for both mainstream and special needs classes, with the aim that they then initiate their own creative projects. Our Artist’s Network encourages artists from within the communities we work in to be part of our teams, meaning that the methods we pass on stay within the local area rather than leaving at the end of our projects.
We seek to promote the development of communication skills and confidence building in young people through drama, music, movement, dance and film.

Our main project is based in Lebanon where we are working with UNRWA to provide solutions to some of their education issues in the Palestinian refugee ca
mps. For more information on CAST in Lebanon please click here.
How did CAST begin?
Actor/Director David Morrissey set up CAST after visiting the Palestinian camps in 2009 and realising there was something he could do to help the children there. To read about how the project came about click here.
