Description
The migrant community in Croatia - particularly from marginalized groups such as refugees and migrant workers in precarious jobs - is largely poorly organized, dependent on humanitarian action or on small informal groups based around a common origin or language. Integration policies are almost non-existent, whil wider organization is prevented by the lack of language competences in Croatian. The activities of this project include continuous work with a group of migrants through theatre workshops aimed at language acquisition and creating their own counter-narrative in relation to the dominant discourse, as well as at the preparation and performance of a legislative theater play that will enable participants to co-create concrete solutions. Through this project, participants will receive targeted support through the methodology of drama education for second language acquisition. At the same time through the legislative theatre performance they will be able create counter-narratives and analyse and seek strategies to solve specific problems in the community. The expected wider impact on society is an increased level of integration (as a multilateral process) and concrete legal changes that will reduce administrative violence and discriminatory practices
