This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary approach of applied theatre combined with  conflict theories and practices; how drama and theatre can be used to promote conflict transformation, peacebuilding and reconciliation, and also how it can be an effective tool in activists’ hands.

We will use different techniques of devising theatre – by using images, sounds, body language, words.

We will discover the potential application of theatre in different settings such as education field, activism, conflict transformation, intercultural and social mediation.
