Resilient Stages

In an increasing number of workplaces, we meet people who come from very different realities of life, often marked by poverty and/or the experience of war, violence and/or persecution.

This training program provides a unique opportunity to experience intercultural work in local and international conflict and crisis areas and to use theatre-based approaches to tackle difficult realities. It is a so-called CAS, Certified of Advanced Studies with 10 ECTS (credits).

The CAS program consists of three modules that are based on each other and combine theoretical knowledge, practical exercises and reflections.

​

Participants will learn how theatrical work can be used to activate vital forces, strengthen self-awareness, and foster a sense of community. They will learn to reflect on their origin and to develop an awareness of inequality and discrimination. They will analyze their own motivation and acquire skills to position themselves in intercultural collaborations.

​

ThThe participants will immerse themselves in a stimulating and transformative experience. An exchange with theatrical artists from the Kurdish regions of Iraq and/or Syria has been proposed. Participants will experience how theatre can contribute to positive and perhaps changing perspectives: diversity as a wealth, and learning from each other. Theatrical work in crisis areas is a cultural endeavour with a focus on the future.
