Solidarity Action — Looking of ways to bring the community together to create solutions?

Bringing Forum Theatre to young people and communities presents a dynamic opportunity to foster understanding and catalyse solutions to inequality in their lives. By utilising this interactive theatrical form, members of your community engage directly with real-life scenarios, exploring systemic injustices and brainstorming solutions in a safe and supportive environment. Through block bookings tailored for groups, drama becomes a powerful tool for empowerment and championing. This approach not only educates but also amplifies the voices of those facing inequality, equipping them with the skills and confidence to challenge inequality and enact positive change in their worlds.
