Summary of project results
The group advocacy of inhabitants of the 11th district of Budapest is weak. The results of the research are given, from the monetary aspect the project seems to be sustainable, too, because of the enthusiastic mentality of the NGO. The main goal was to enhance the communication skill of inhabitants in the 11th district of Budapest, what was absolved through theatrical activities that they had. The members of the target groups realized the negative effects of racism and discrimination. The more powerful and effective civic operation is provided by the project, through the self-conscious acting of the target members. They organized communication skill development occasions thirty times, they performed in a Forum Theatre, and they organized communication trainings three times. They constructed a cooperation network. The beneficiaries were involved in many activities that the applicant NGO organized for them. The main benefit was that the participants got know themselves much better through the performing activities.
