Haiti - Culture : Training tour on the Theater Forum techniques 15/12/2016 09:07:05 This original project aims to sensitize young Haitians such as theater groups to advocacy techniques so that they themselves become actors of change "We will train 250 people to the theater technique forum. Our goal is that at least one troupe per department regularly offer forum theater performances in their community," explained Thomas Noreille, founder of the Association" Les Rescapés". This project, following a partnership of more than three years between Minustah and the Association "Les Rescapés", highlights the use of forum theater techniques through public participation as a tool for raising awareness. The subjects proposed in the tour are directly related to civic education, the culture of peace such as the promotion of national dialogue, tolerance and respect for others, and electoral education, and in particular the importance of voting without violence. Organized in anticipation of the second round of elections, the tour will take place from 14 December 2016 to 9 February 2017 in the capitals of the ten departments of Haiti. Two hundred and fifty young people, aged 18 and over, artists and members of local theater groups will be selected to participate in the workshops. They will also be sensitized on civics by educators from the Coalition of Haitian Volunteers (COHAIV). The young artists will have to write themselves a scenario of Theater forum engaging both actors and spectators. Calendar of the tour of "Rescapés" "Mwen aktè avni peyi’m" : From 14 to 16 December 2016 Gonaïves From 19 to 22 December 2016 Port-de-Paix From January 9 to 11, 2017 Port-au-Prince From 13 to 15 January 2017 Hinche From 16 to 18 January 2017 Cap Haitien From 20 to 22 January 2017 Fort freedom From 16 to 28 January 2017 Jacmel From January 30th to February 1st 2017 Miragoâne From 2 to 4 February 2017 Les Cayes From 7 to 9 February 2017 Jérémie More about the Forum Theater : Created by Augusto Boal in 1960 in Brazil, the Forum Theater, also called the "theater of the oppressed," tries to bring solutions to social problems by actively engaging the spectators who replace the characters on stage. The "Rescapés" were trained in this participatory theater technique in 2012 by the Swiss actor / director Fabrice Bessire. Since then they have used this technique as an advocacy tool to build the capacity of communities to identify their own solutions to the problems that affect them.
