Project description 

The objective of this initiative was to train adult learners through the artistic experience and consider ways to add value to theatre-based training, a crucial tool in aiding self-development. Thanks to the theatre workshops organized by the project team, participants were free to construct a personal reality for themselves inside the theatre setting. The project worked off the idea that theatre can be used as an enabling tool, giving individuals opportunities to gain knowledge and discover themselves in a challenging setting.
