Puppet Theatre

Activity description

“Puppet theatre” is a 12 month project designed to promote civic education. Topics of tolerance, gender equality, human rights and solidarity are especially important for children in our post war region. Making puppets, writing scripts, preparing and conducting puppet shows and workshops. Activities are implemented in kindergartens, schools and other institutions. Contact with children from the community is the most important part of the project, it gives new knowledge to children and opportunity for volunteers to learn and practice new skills.
