ProForum | A Creative Method for Teaches is a type of theater centered on social issues, with the aim of raising awareness among participants about human rights, but also about the role of each person in changing society for the better. With the help of a Joker, people in the audience can take the stage to intervene in finding a solution to a situation of oppression presented. This type of interactive and cultural activity, carried out in groups of teachers and students, in the classroom, fulfills the objective of the project - the creation of an educational environment that inspires, develops creativity and prepares participants for the challenges and opportunities of a constantly changing world.
The purpose of the project is to develop a cultural program in the curriculum for teachers, but also for young people, through their participation in the production of Forum Theater aimed at stimulating the imagination, developing critical and creative skills and by offering an innovative educational experience. The Forum Theater method helps to increase the skills of teachers by integrating into their educational practice debate topics that bring up sensitive and increasingly common topics among teenagers, namely drug use, bullying or self-harm.
This project is part of the national cultural programme "Timișoara European Capital of Culture in the year 2023" and is financed by the Power Station+ program | Creative schools, run by the Center for Projects Timișoara, with amounts allocated from the state budget, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture.
