Generation Girls
Generation Girls is a project for Autistic girls and girls with learning disabilities.
Led by a female facilitator and supported by a team of trained female peer educators (aged 18 - 21) the programmes explore issues that matter most to young women in a safe and supportive environment. Topics include self-esteem and body image, healthy relationships, and mental health. The project takes on two forms:
A 10-week empowering drama programme for girls.
Online interactive 'smart script' workshops.
Having successfully completed four pilot projects with a range of different groups, Peer Productions are now rolling out the programme in SEN Schools for the second year running. Our workshops are fun, informative and suitable for girls with learning difficulties or disabilities and Autistic girls.
We are currently working with:
The Park School - Woking
Carwarden House School - Camberley
Gosden House School - Guildford
Philip Southcote School - Weybridge
During the 2020 lockdown Peer Productions received additional funding from Community Foundation for Surrey and Berkshire Community Foundation to create online resources for Generation Girls.
As part of this, the project now has a dedicated website -www.generationgirlsuk.com
