AIDGLOBAL’s Vision is based on the belief of a better world, where each one of us is invited to participate, assuring the dignity and respect for human rights and sharing of resources in a sustainable way.
AIDGLOBAL’s Mission is to integrate and act for the well being of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries’ (CPLP) populations, contributing for the improvement of their lives through the promotion of different forms of Action and Integration into areas such as Cooperation for Development, Education for Development, Migrations, Training and Volunteering.
“Democracy and poverty are incompatible”, wrote the sociologist Herbert de Souza, “Betinho”, in 1993, launching Ação da Cidadania as one of the most creative, innovative and important social movements in Brazil. Among its objectives are the promotion of the mobilisation of all segments of Brazilian society in finding solutions to the issues of hunger and misery in order to realise the dream of a country without hunger, without poverty, where everyone has rights of citizenship, where justice is more than one word and that social integration is more fact than rhetoric. Since 1993, Ação da Cidadania aims to encourage citizen participation in the construction and improvement of public social policies.
Today at 19h30 (Lisbon) Joana Lobo Antunes will be doing a demonstration of the Theatre of the Oppressed. Come and join us at MUDE or UCAM.
Theatre of the Oppressed is a participatory form of theatre that was developed by Augusto Boal in Brazil. It involves actors and non-actors playing out stories of oppression (factory owner mistreating the workers/abusive husband abusing his wife etc). In these performances, the audience can stop the performance at any time, take over from one of the actors and re-write the story. This can continue until all the members of the cast and the audience are satisfied with the new script.
Between 1993 and 1997, Boal was a Councillor in Rio de Janeiro. During that time, he developed ‘Legislative Theatre’ which is based on the same principles as Theatre of the Oppressed, but instead of acting out a scene where someone is being oppressed, the subject of the performance is a proposed new law. Spectator-actors (or Spect-actors) can take to the stage, express their opinions and support, oppose or modify any of the proposals. This approach was recently used in the UK in Brighton to promote public engagement in a local health improvement programme.
