Objectives

ACTion-ReACTion is a training course introducing elements of Forum Theatre. This method becomes more and more popular, unfortunately, as we have noticed very often is being confused with the broader concept, which is the Theatre of the Oppressed and its different forms. There are many publications confusing the vocabulary and misguiding the users. In this course we would like to offer you the experience of forum theatre from the professional trainers in a safe, comfortable atmosphere, work in the international environment, networking with the organizations with the similar interest and practice, practice, practice. It is very challenging to create a forum play from scratch within 7 days, and this is why we are offering the elements of Forum Theatre, which you will be able to discover and develop in the future. Among the activities, we invite you also to mini-lectures revealing the roots of Boal’s theatre, applied drama games and exercises, debates about youth problems in your countries and communities and also Erasmus + open space. Aim: To introduce youth trainers and educators to the elements of Forum Theatre method, useful when working with youth on vulnerable topics and to equip them with the skills of using the method in favour of facilitating the debates on the topic of fighting exclusion and discrimination in the local and international context. Forum Theater, is, as international DICE research has shown (http://www.dramanetwork.eu/file/Kto%20rzuc%20kostka1.pdf), is one of the most effective educational methods in raising social competences: deeply engaging, allowing you to directly experience ( by entering roles) issues raised and expressing their opinions on the forum. It is also an effective way to open to dialogue, to topics important for young people.
