Cheshire College – South & West
A peer-education project centred around children’s creativity
For over ten years, Theatre Porto has proudly partnered with Cheshire College South & West on an aspirational peer education project that brings together learners of all ages.
Born from the DCMS-funded ‘Aim Higher’ initiative, the project was developed to inspire a love of creativity and learning, and open up pathways into education for young people from low socio-economic backgrounds, and those who face other barriers to participation.
Over the years, Theatre Porto has connected primary school children, secondary-school aged Young Writers, and College / University students across multiple projects which uses child-centred creativity and new writing as the basis of an inspiring performance project.
2025 marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration with Cheshire Dance, and in 2026 we’re continuing that journey – bringing dance and theatre together to create a new, inspiring theatre experience for primary schools
