Acting for Human Rights!
German-Ukrainian Youth Exchange about gender with use of performing arts. Join us to learn to tell stories that captivate and make impact.
Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.
