ART OF SILENCE
ART IS THE BIGGEST POWER
What we do
Art of Silence is an international project involving 3 Countries: Latvia, Croatia, and Romania. Together we want to develop work with youth aiming at integration and inclusion between deaf and hearing communities. As a method, we want to use Theatre. After establishing integrational theatre studios in each country and working with them for 9 months, we created a 2-month program handbook that youth workers may utilize to build an inclusive and integrated environment.
To expand work with a community of young deaf people through the use of transnational organizations, an integrated theatre approach, and intercultural experience exchange.
Two-month program manual for use in various countries and organizations (schools, NGOs, day-care centers, etc.). Spreading awareness about inclusive theatre practices for the deaf community. Any youth worker can use the guidebook to establish an inclusive and integrated environment for youth with disabilities.
