Theatre in education YOLO Year 9
Following the success of the 2025 pilot of YOLO (you only live once), a thought-provoking performance aimed at young passenger safety to year 9 pupils, we are pleased to announce the return of this valuable programme for January/February 2026.
In 2025 a total of 6,424 students across the county participated in the performance and workshops, with more than a third completing evaluation forms where 94% of them stated that the interventions made them think about the effects of risk taking behaviour on the roads and 71% stating they had a greater understanding of how their actions as a passenger could influence how a car was being driven.
Each live and captivating performance is followed by an interactive workshop and question time. Using the performance as a springboard, students are then invited to challenge the attitudes and behaviours they have witnessed and consider what they should do in similar circumstances. The session is followed up with a bespoke scheme of teaching materials to support continuation of learning.
YOLO is delivered by Performance in Education and commissioned by Lancashire County Council Road Safety Team. For more information please email: roadsafetyeducation@lancashire.gov.uk
