Peterborough College Hosts Powerful CODE Production by Justice in Motion

Peterborough College welcomed CODE, a gripping and immersive production by Justice in Motion, designed to raise awareness of the exploitation of young people by organised criminal gangs involved in County Lines and knife crime.

Performed twice during the day, CODE captivated audiences with its intense blend of physical theatre, parkour, trials bike stunts, live rap, and music. Inspired by real-life stories, the production sheds light on the harsh realities faced by vulnerable young people who are coerced into dangerous criminal activities. The dynamic show provided students with an engaging yet impactful educational experience.

As part of the College’s ongoing Personal Development Programme, CODE forms a key element in promoting awareness of community safety and encouraging students to reflect on issues such as youth exploitation and the criminal justice system.

Recently, Cambridgeshire Constabulary partnered with Peterborough College to develop a new brand identity for their “Clear, Hold, Build” project, an initiative aimed at tackling organised crime within the community. The project resulted in a powerful new name – “Alliance” – and a symbolic logo designed by Max Pogson, a talented second-year Graphic Design student.
