Strengthening the Contributions of Theatre to the Coexistence Field
Coexistence International at Brandeis University collaborates with Theatre Without Borders, a network of theatre artists who support international theatre exchange. The collaboration focuses on how theatre can contribute to coexistence and peacebuilding; and conversely, how theatre artists working in conflict regions might benefit from interaction with peacebuilding practitioners, organizations and concepts. A theatre and peacebuilding anthology will be the tangible result of this three-year collaboration. Follow the link for more information on Theatre Without Borders and Coexistence International's Theatre and Peacebuilding project.

The collaboration is producing the action/research project Community Radio, Democracy and Peace, which explores the ways in which a community radio station can be used to augment dialogue, expression and democratic values in Nablus, Palestine.
