When people think of creative training, they usually imagine acting, filming, or maybe a bit of stage work. But at Give-Get-Go Education, our training goes way beyond the spotlight.
Yes, we teach theatre and film, but we also train young people in project management, event planning, and everything that happens behind the scenes.
And here’s the best part—The skills they learn in our programmes? Employers are looking for them everywhere. In film, of course, but also in business, hospitality, tech, education, and loads of other industries.
Here’s what they gain from our training:
Communication: Whether it's pitching an idea, running an event, or directing a scene, our learners get used to speaking up, listening well, and sharing ideas clearly and confidently.
Teamwork: Nothing we do is solo. From filming to running a live show, it’s all about working together, sharing roles, and getting things done as a team.
Problem-solving: Plans change, things go wrong—and that’s where the magic happens. Our young people learn to think fast, adapt, and stay calm under pressure.
Project management: We teach how to plan projects, manage time, set goals, and track progress. Whether it’s a short film or a live event, they’re learning how to lead from the front.
Event planning: From handling budgets to promoting events and making sure everything runs smoothly on the day, they gain real-world experience that’s useful far beyond the arts.
Creative thinking: This kind of training unlocks imagination. Our learners don’t just follow instructions—they solve problems in new ways, pitch bold ideas, and bring fresh energy to challenges.
Confidence and ownership: Taking part in something from start to finish builds confidence you can’t fake. Whether it’s a show, a film, or an event, our learners leave knowing they did something real—and they can do it again.
At GGGE, it’s not just about performance. It’s about leadership, organisation, creativity, and growth. When you help someone run a show or lead a project, you’re not just teaching them a skill. You’re helping them build a future.
