 Project: Cultural and Theatre Training Center 

  Purpose: This project aims to

1- Create a cultural and a theatre training center for children (boys and girls) and youth of Aida camp (age 9-18 years old) and the neighboring region and initiate them to theatre and drama, and train them on acting and prepare plays which reflect their situation and their rights and other subjects of interest for their age.

2- Create a theatre group where children are the main actors which shall reflect the problems and life of  Palestinian refugees, and mainly the children, in the country and outside the country.

3- As a theatre center, mainly for children, try to help our children in the camp and the neighboring region to make use of their time with something positive that shall develop their creativity and the spirit of belonging to a team, to a family and to their country. Encourage improvisation, in order to develop their imagination

4- Focus on themes that touch our society, and the environment.

5- Create a cultural and theatre training center will enrich the experience and cultural exchange of children (actors and audience) and which shall not be limited to the time of the play.

6- The library shall be a place where children can find an unlimited sources of knowledge and hold discussions about books they read. A prize shall be given for those who read the highest number of books.

7- The computer center shall be a place where the children can learn the basics in computer skills, and via internet, get in contact with other children around the world through special training workshops.

8- The field trips in the country shall provide children with more knowledge about their country since most of them have never left the camp or Bethlehem area. This also would deepen their feeling of awareness and belonging to their country.

9- Theatre performances will touch people (children and adults) in different rural areas of our countries.

10- Introduce them to basics in drawing, painting and folk songs and dances through special training workshops.   

 

Who Shall Benefit from this project: All the children (boys and girls) of the camp and the neighboring regions who subscribe in the center from age 6-18 years old (for theatre 9-18 years old). 

Details of the Project: Because most of the places where we shall present our plays are not adequately prepared as theatres, we think of a transportable theatre. Therefore, a list of equipment is necessary:
