Biases are extremely strong in the Hungarian society. The aim of this project was to reduce these biases and discrimination (especially against Roma youth and women). The so called playback theatre is a storytelling theatre, which sheds light on a problem from many perspectives thus increase the viewers (who play active part) empathy and tolerance of others. The association taught people learning/working in the field of humanities, who wanted to learn and apply the method of playback. They gave four performances in Debrecen and in Nyíregyháza.
