Getting Your Voice Heard
3 day workshop on Drama and Presentation Skills
for
Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Supporters was held at the
Swansea Waterfront Museum
20, 21, 22nd August,
Led by Small World Theatre, Theatr Fforwm Cymru,
SBASSG and DPIA
Participants were able to develop skills for work or study. Build a team
in Swansea able to speak out for refugees and asylum seekers.
The forum theatre
process was facilitated by FForwm Theatr Cymru and Small World Theatre.
The scenes were silent however the spectactors were able to intercede and
replace the protagonist using speech. Issues were highlighted and participants
saw the power of the medium. Especially the way in which a group can help
seek alternative solutions to real problems.
2. A new all Wales Refugee training project
Details below
Refugees
and Asylum Seekers
Planning Event
We would like to form a group who would like to be trained in theatre skills
so that they can advocate for their fellows. Using drama and facilitation
techniques the participants could help organisations, government
departments, service providers and other interested groups understand the
potential difficulties that many refugees and asylum seekers face when communicating
with British Institutions.
The meeting venue and dates are to be arranged
soon.
