Equal Voice thrives in a culture of research and exploration. We initiate pilot and research projects to look at new ways of addressing issues, which face young people and their educators.

• Early Start is our Early Years pilot project, which aims to make lasting changes within early years' education and ensure that these changes permeate through the rest of the school.
• Soap is a ground-breaking collaboration between Equal Voice and Pop-Up Theatre, working with a group of writers to develop truthful, exciting theatre for primary pupils based on their school lives and surrounding community. Click link for further information, and to find out how to get involved.
• Safety Net aims to help prevent exclusions and to support the reintegration of excluded pupils, using specialist techniques and role-play around the subjects of safe groups, teacher-pupil and peer-to-peer relationships, and conflict management. The London Borough of Barnet is hosting and supporting this project in 14 schools across the Key Stages. Work is taking place in partnership with the LEA, and we are currently resident in 3 secondary schools, as part of their PHSE curriculum. Safety Net will finish in July 07. Please contact us for further details on this programme.
• Interview Technique sessions are an opportunity for college students and young job seekers to build both their self-confidence and their understanding of presentation, communication and empathic skills. Together with Kingston and Merton Education Business Partnership, we have been running successful workshops for training providers in boroughs across South London. Please contact us for further details on these sessions.
• Turning Points uses film to illustrate the impact of exclusion on young peoples' lives and demonstrate that early intervention, sensitivity and support can have a profound and positive effect.
• Equal Voice in New Zealand was a short pilot programme funded by the British Council for primary and secondary schools including three professional development days for teachers and others at Te Wananga O Aotearoa. As a result of the success of this pilot a more extensive programme is now being scheduled.
