Between January and March 2007, Hull Truck was also involved in a major digital learning TIE project. . A part-written part-devised script exploring citizenship and the media portrayal of immigration, performed by six professional actors. The piece focused on creating an interactive learning experience for the students, who participated in a workshop exploring the themes of the piece after the play. The team also delivered Inset Training days; training teachers in the use of drama content in lessons and supporting the use of drama as a learning resource.

Other past projects include:

Age Concern
A reminiscence project with Age Concern celebrating VE day, which provided an insight into the minds of those that lived through the War, sharing wartime memories and experiences. It ended with a touching and nostalgic VE day ‘movie-style’ performance.

Hull Young Women's group
A diversity project to devise a performance that explored the cultural identity of the group and looked at their different cultural traditions and heritage. This was performed to friends and family on the Hull Truck Stage.

Road Safety Project
A collaboration between Road Safety, Hull College and Hull Truck Theatre, where college students devised a piece intended to explore the results of dangerous driving.

Set Design workshops, vocal workshops at Biggin Hill Primary School, and secondary school workshops around the Hull Truck productions Macbeth and Teechers. We also delivered ‘Making Poverty History’ workshops, which aimed to bring the subject of poverty to life for Year 9 and10 students by comparing westernised images of gluttony to images of poverty; students created a devised piece representing these images for the finished piece.

Over time, Hull Truck’s Education Department has also worked with Dads Against Drugs (DADs), Hull Victim Support, Ings Road, Park Avenue and Coleford Adult Education (projects with Adults with Learning Disabilities), St Michael's Youth Project, The Deaf Club, New Hall Surgery, Ability and the RISC Group.
