The Content of the Workshop: Resilience and Community Stories

This workshop teaches simple exercises to help groups share experiences and
analyze situations using drama and storytelling. These methods can be used by community
workers, activists, teachers and health workers. The process gives people another way to
tell who they are and what is important to them. No experience is necessary.

The Theatre of the Oppressed describes theatrical forms that the Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal first
elaborated in the 1960s. Boal's techniques use theatre as means of promoting social and political change. In the Theatre of the
Oppressed, the audience becomes active; they explore, show, analyze and transform the reality in which they are living.
