This year the Theater group will also share with the participants the tools of theater that can be used for advocacy in community advocacy work. Theater is a powerful tool and it reaches the audience quicker. It is easier to receive the information and the discussion generated after the performance are beneficial as more than one aspect of the situation can be discussed”
