 LIFE SKILLS PROJECT

 The children we work with face considerable ostracism and discrimination from their local communities. The cultural learning program uses theatre to engage and empower participants to tell life stories and educate the communities about the issues they face. Through the program young people also have the opportunity to become theatre instructors. The story telling component will engage younger children in traditional stories that build cultural literacy and explore contemporary social issues affecting them. This will build their self-esteem that allows children to become confident and healthy younger adults.
