Communication in Conflicts 2004

An international exchange and training programme on theatre in conflict transformation and development

 


For the third consecutive year, sabisa is conducting an international exchange and training programme in Berlin entitled Communication in Conflicts. Theatre practitioners from Romania, Ethiopia, Zambia, Nepal, Palestine, Ghana/Norway and Brazil will be spending two weeks in Berlin, working together on a joint forum theatre production as well as giving workshops for facilitators and youth, giving insights into different creative methods of empowerment and conflict transformation. The aim of the exchange programme is to provide practitioners in Berlin with alternative approaches to theatre in education and development from the global South.

The programme is funded by the State of Berlin (Landesstelle für Entwicklungszusammenarbeit), German Ministry of Development Cooperation, Stiftung Nord-Süd-Brücken, Stiftung Umverteilen! and the German Protestant Development Service (Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst).
