Tell me and I’ll forget,
show me and I might remember,
involve me and I will learn

Welcome to AKT

AKT is one of the country’s foremost Learning and Development organisations which uses theatre-based techniques in order to create high impact, interactive, facilitated workshops. We specialise in Safety, Security, Leadership and Behavioural Skills for Business and work across the UK and internationally. In safety we help our clients look at all areas of Safety Culture, Safety Behaviours, Safety Conversations and Human Factors.

We believe that structured engagement sessions are the most effective way of learning, either face to face or online. Stories can stir up powerful emotions in people, in a way that no other training medium can achieve. AKT’s ability to create recognisable parallel worlds, where difficult and challenging issues can be safely explored, is what makes our experiential learning so successful at engaging an audience and staying with them long after the session has ended. Skillful facilitation helps the audience to reflect on their own behaviours and culture, with the scenarios moving from being a prompt for discussion to becoming a mirror which can reveal some uncomfortable truths. We are used by our clients as a stimulus to help groups reflect and plan, and ultimately go home unharmed at the end of every day.
