Forum theatre is a method developed by Brasilian activist and artist Augusto Boal. It is used for solving problems by involving the audience. The method can be applied to students of all ages and can be used on various topics. In this workshop we will use forum theatre in solving real-life problems caused by the digitization of modern communication. One aim is to discuss, reveal and share our problems caused by digitalisation with colleagues. Secondly we will learn the method of forum theatre.After taking part in this workshop the participants will have a clear idea on how to structure a drama session and how to use forum theatre with their own students.The workshop is meant for teachers or anyone interested in forum theatre.
