“Theatre allows us to inform ourselves, to position ourselves, to put a voice of protest, to raise awareness, to take reality to another dimension, to dream utopias, to remember and not to forget. And above all, not to ignore conflicts”.

For all those active in youth work and youth political education:

Ready to dive into a world of change, fun, and making a difference? Imagine using the power of theatre to shake things up and build a world full of peace and understanding!

 Welcome to our Youth Peace Revolution through Theatre! It's not just any workshop – It is a journey to connect with our biographies, bodies and share a space of empowerment and resilience.

Why theatre, you ask? Because it's not just about acting; it's about making noise, raising awareness and dreaming big! We're here to share the tools of Theatre of the Oppressed, Epic Theatre, Biographical Theatre, and more. Get ready to unleash your creativity in your mind and with your body!

Here you have all the information about what awaits you in our sessions:

• Let’s build a group trough acting and introduction to our topics. Let's talk about peace and build a tight-knit crew.
• "Biographical Theatre" - Let’s share our biographies and identify trough theatre tools what we have in common and with what kind of conflicts we are confronted.
• Dive into "Theatre of the Oppressed" – How to identify privileges and disadvantaged? Let’s talk about solutions:
• "Epic Theatre" – How to break the fantasy in the theatre to invite the audience to reflect on certain topics?
• Get moving with "Corporal Expression" – explore the connection between your body, conflicts, and peace.
• Join forces in a group project – time to put everything you've learned into action on stage.
• Individual project – show us how you'll bring the peace vibes to your area.

Feeling excited? Great! There are a few things to keep in mind:

• We're building a global community that celebrates diversity. If you're into peace, anti-discrimination, and resolving conflicts, you're in the right place!
• You've got some experience in non-formal education or youth leadership? Perfect!
• Ready to step out of your comfort zone? Awesome! We're all about working together with people who bring different experiences to the table.
• This is a safe space – no room for violence or discrimination. Diversity wins, and everyone is welcome.
