DAH Theatre invited to the Multiplier Event in Mestašce space the Directors of local schools as well as teachers and also other practitioners of Drama in Education and representatives of local NGO’s that are dealing whit informal education of teenagers. We had a nice group of 30 people really interested in topics and enthusiastic and the influence of the art and drama in dealing with delicate subjects. Our main goal was to sensitize the Mayors of high schools about this important issue and to make them understand that we all have to move together when it comes to gender-based violence and to constantly make space for dealing with it in high schools. Teachers expressed their great fear for the increase of violence in schools after Covid 19 and they also addressed the need for help in dealing with it. We agreed that we will together with some local schools try to find funds for printing the Teacher’s Handbook.
