Welcome to Promote YT

Promote YT (Scotland) is the national support and development body for youth theatre in Scotland. Established in 2004 we annually provide support to more than 70 registered youth theatre groups who together engage over 17,000 young people across Scotland each year. We carry out our development role by providing platforms which support advocacy, training and exchange. The most significant of these platforms are the annual National Festival of Youth Theatre (NFYT), the largest open platform for youth theatre performances anywhere in the UK and SKILL UP (now in its 8th year) the only event of its kind in the country attracting hundreds of practitioners from across Scotland and beyond.
