Source: Jugpress / Vranje – The final event of the "TED – Theatre for Ethnic Dialogue", which the “Generator” NGO, in collaboration with its partners, had been undertaking over the previous 10 months, was held at the students’ and pupils’ dorm in Vranje.
Six interactive, socially engaged forum plays were performed. Each of them showed the problem of ethnic intolerance, which is characteristic for a specific local community, and called for public discussion and open dialogue.
A round table entitled "Theatre as a Function of Inclusion of Minorities" was held at the final event, which was attended by representatives of schools and institutions and at which several recommendations were made.
The event brought together more than 80 young people and representatives of various institutions and schools from Vranje and five other municipalities where the project is implemented, which include Surdulica, Vladicin Han, Bujanovac, Lebane and Bojnik.
The "Theatre of Ethnic Dialogue" is a project aimed at raising the awareness of young people about violation of human and minority rights, anti-discrimination, inclusion and engagement of young Serbs, Roma and Albanians from Vranje, Surdulica, Bujanovac, Lebane Bojnik and Vladicin Han in joint activities in the local community.
The project is conducted in partnership with the local self-governments of Vranje, Surdulica and Lebane, through the Youth Office and in cooperation with the Youth Offices from Bujanovac, Bojnik and Vladicin Han and the Coordinator for Roma issues from the municipality of Lebane, by which cooperation between the NGOs, local authorities and institutions is ensured.
