The goal of the project is to raise awareness of current political and social events and their broader context through theater and discussions, develop competencies for active civic life, and enhance media literacy and the ability to confront disinformation. The project aims to open and develop topics that are shaping our present or need to be introduced into the public discourse.

Increasing awareness among adults about democratic values, human rights, and social issues. Supporting open dialogue on current societal topics, strengthening civil society, and its resilience against manipulative and disinformational tendencies. Encouraging civic engagement through discussions. Enhancing critical thinking and media literacy.
