Back for 2026/27, this is an exciting opportunity for young people aged 14-25 to help produce an event to sit alongside the Belgrade’s upcoming production of Nanny of the Maroons.
The Belgrade’s Creative Youth Forum is perfect for people who:
- Are aged 14-25,
- Are passionate about the arts and how it makes change,
- Have a good eye for stories and are open to seeing where an idea might go,
- Enjoy collaborating with others to make things happen,

The Belgrade’s Creative Youth Forum is a programme designed for young people aged 14-25 who are interested in learning about professional theatre and working together to design and produce exciting events.
The Youth Forum could be for you if you are interested in connecting with new people and industry professionals, if you have lots of ideas and are a creative person, or if you are interested in gaining experience in an Arts and Culture setting. Participants in the 2026/27 Creative Youth Forum will have the opportunity to design and run an event for the theatre’s 2027 flagship production, Nanny of the Maroons.
The show tells the incredible true story of legendary 18 Century freedom fighter, Queen Nanny, and will be performed at the Belgrade Theatre in June and July 2027.
Youth Forum sessions will take place monthly at the Belgrade Theatre. No previous experience is necessary, just an openness to meet new people and share ideas.
We will be holding an initial session on Wednesday 9 December.
