NCDUK 2020 is on Sunday May 17th and the week running up to it

The performing arts create perfect opportunities for children to express themselves and develop confidence. NCDUK is a wonderful time for children to celebrate their rights and freedoms through music, theatre and dance.

If you manage a music, theatre or dance group, what about planning a special performance to take place on NCDUK? Perhaps you could even choreograph a new dance or show, or write a piece of music, for the children in your group to perform on the day. That would be awesome - and truly memorable for the children!

If you're an individual, group or organisation and want to create a special day for the child/children in your life, here are some suggestions of activities you could plan:

• A special performance of a dance
• A special performance of a play or show
• A special performance by an orchestra or choir
• A visit to a live performance of music, theatre or dance
• A family/neighbourhood gathering and sing-song
  

• A musical bash using household utensils!
• Make kazoos and play them
• A music workshop with instruments to try out
• Act out a fairy tale, hold a dance party
  
• A fun talent show with family/friends/neighbours
