Act for Human Rights - Legislative Theatre Training course

Background of the training course 

Theatre of the Oppressed is a collective rehearsal for reality. Theatre of the Oppressed methods are highly adaptable to the needs of different communities, with a large capacity to cover all kinds of social issues: human rights problems, power abuse and oppression in different ways, lack of activism, discrimination, exclusion, poverty, marginalization, xenophobia, etc. and through a creative approach provides a space for people to reflect, find solutions to these topics and transfer the solutions in their lives. 

Through Legislative Theatre, we address systemic issues, and call for systemic change through consultations with the affected target groups - this methodology allows you to work with vulnerable groups, to work grassroot, and to have a direct interaction and impact in the lives of oppressed young people. 

The aim of our training is to increase youth workers capacities in using Legislative Theatre methodology in addressing systemic change and empower youth workers to work with public authorities in advocacy processes.
