Education theatre

We put a lot of energy into training. To maximize the impact and reach the largest numbers, one must use tools like theatre, games etc. Training should be as participatory and exciting as possible. 3 theatre groups have been set up, composed of local peasants trained on the spot. They produce over 200 shows a year, each is attended by an average of 200 people. The topics covered are vaccinations, waste management, family planning, Aids, alcoholism etc. Every year tens of thousands of people are reached by this program.

The group of Dúc Linh has set a short show with only 3 actors. A woman tries to convince her husband to stop drinking, but the latter becomes very angry, hits her, throws her out of the house... Volunteers from the public are invited to speak to husband. The people are watching with passion, the women especially are very moved, alcoholism is a major problem for them, the victims. Several times the actors have been beaten by members of the public!
