Summary of the results
The initiative was implemented by the Visual Puppet Theatre "Prassein Aloga" in collaboration with the Norwegian NGO "Culture Break Borders," founded by musician Frode Barth. Together, we prepared a joint action, which included a three-day puppet workshop for people with mental health issues, such as alcohol and drug addiction, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, manic depression, PTSD, Asperger''s syndrome, and schizophrenia. The workshop took place at Amaldhus Aktivitetshus in Oslo from 22nd to 24th September 2023. Participants included individuals from Teater Vildenvei, a group where people with mental health challenges engage in creative activities. The goal was to foster networking between one Greek and two Norwegian entities, facilitate the transfer of knowledge about puppetry, and promote the exchange of experiences, feelings, and best practices.
