A programme of creative workshops

The programme focused mainly on theatre workshops - working on specific performaces and a series of rehearsals. It involved twenty two theatre groups. The second component of the programme consisted of visual art activities: creating decorations and stage props for the performances (for example works of art connected with the culture of Red Indians), designing and making a banner ("A Common Declaration of Human Rights - Do You Know It?) and an ICT photograpy project ("Hands" - the meaning and symbolism of gestures). The third part of the programme focused on literary activities connected with the publication of a special issue of the "Jestesmy" magazine (analysing the problem of discrimination, writing and editing texts, creating anti-discrimination slogans). All workshop activities addressed the problem of discrimination and ways of fighting it.
