“Get ACTive!”
Are you active in the field of gender equality or interested in it?! Perfect! We would like to invite you to join this special project.
With this youth exchange we want to motivate, prepare and support young people for a commitment to support gender equality and give the opportunity for a first exchange of experiences.
Today our society is going through significant changes, however, youth is often lacking a safe forum to discuss personal experiences in a constructive manner. Theatre of the Oppressed (or Forum Theatre) is an efficient method to address any social issues and to enable the people to find solution strategies together in order to cope with the challenges they might face both on a societal and an individual level.
Theatre of the Oppressed offers a unique possibility not only to map difficulties and initiate a discourse, but also to act out situations and to personally experience them, thus gaining a better understanding of one’s own reactions and inhibitions, as well as to discover possible solutions linked to the common social problem.
Objectives:
raising awareness of gender issues
learning about the method of Theatre of the Oppressed
sharing personal experiences, initiating an international discourse
writing a new play on gender issues based on the participants’ own experiences and input

give tools to start own forum theatre groups in their communities

Methods:

facilitation techniques (role of the Joker)
complex artistic techniques (e.g. use of music and drawing when writing a play)
