About the Project
By this project we aim to overcome the bullying via Forum Theatre. Forum Theatre uses theatre to achieve social aims. Students learn best in safe environments that are characterized by active student engagement; where students have opportunities to share, reflect, and imagine possibilities; and where their oral, written, and artistic voices are heard. One such learning environment can be created with the use of Forum Theatre.
Some of our objectives are:
- We aim to teach the students the types of bullying and the ways of overcome.
- We aim to give a chance to the students to play a major role in generating the content related to bullying, rather than relying only on an adult to tell them what to do.
- To increase students‘ awareness of their own roles as bullies, their experiences of being bullied, and the issue of bullying in school more broadly.
The students, teachers, other school staff, parents of all partners will be the participants of our project. We will engage as many participants as possible and also each partner will do their best to include the whole community of their institutions and inform them about the project activities and objectives.Apart from the participating organizations, the other education centers in their region will also be the indirect stakeholders of the project.
Education is the key factor for the students who expose to the social explosion. It is also necessary for the students who want to take their own decisions and take their responsibilities. By this project we want to make the students to aware of the bullying and its effects via Forum theatre. By Forum theatre, students understand the mechanisms of challenging social issues, such as exclusion, discrimination or violence. It encourages students to actively search for creative and more effective ways to respond to such situations.
This project will help the teachers in the involved schools to overcome the lack of motivation among the teachers that have problems related to adapt to the new realities.In the long term the teachers and the students will improve their visions and thinking styles and this project will allow them a better understanding of each other through participation in the activities in an intercultural dimension. They will develop combined cultural awareness. They will strenght the open conversation on educational and pedagogical level.
