Through an interactive seminar, they exchanged experiences of Art and theatre for international cooperation and EuroMed dialogue.On the 6th of June in the city of Ljubljana, Mostafa conducted an interactive theatre workshop for intercultural dialogue.

Fifteen participants who are staff members of CSOs in the ALF network in Slovenia attended the workshop. They learned about theatre-based techniques for personal development and intercultural communication; they also shared about their work as NGOs and CSOs working for intercultural dialogue and social inclusion.

During the exchange, we produced a short video by Fatouh on theatre-based techniques for brain and memory stimulation. You can watch the video here.
