We will be learning about Legislative Theatre, with invited young people, to creatively explore new approaches to youth participation.
Conversations will be led by Katy Rubin, founder of Theatre of the Oppressed New York, who is one of the foremost practitioners and facilitators of Legislative Theatre. Katy trained with Augusto Boal, creator of Theatre of the Oppressed in Brazil, and has facilitated Theatre of the Oppressed projects with activists and artists internationally and across the US over the past decade.
Who will take part:
Creative practitioners, youth empowerment champions and those with practical experience of running participatory budgeting projects who are seeking new, deliberative approaches to improve their work.
There will also be 30 delegates invited from Poland, Spain, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland connected to ourErasmus+ funded PB Youth Accelerator Programme.
