training

The examples below represent the preference, in principle, for ongoing and extended training programmes. they are delivered locally and are devised specifically for each new context:

  • either in a sequence of two week or one month sessions as in the PPP programme (Zambia and Nepal) for street performers and NGO /CBO field-workers.
  • or the mPPACT programme which was manifested in four phased training courses. (see also project design and coordination ) for school-teachers in in Greece, Cyprus, UK and Denmark.

Participatory performance Practices :

PPP originated in extended training consultancies with the British Council in Zambia and Nepal

The process of Theatre for Development is a strategic tool, that could be at the heart of any community development initiative that envisages social or behavioural change. PPP draws together a range of Theatre for Development and Participatory Research methods. It is process and product. Community artists tell their own story, highlight their own concerns and develop their own strategies amongst themselves, with their neighbours or through self-advocacy with those policy makers in the wider world who have power over their lives. Facilitated by the practitioners and processes of PPP.

PPP is described more fully in the e-book "The Road to PPP"
