The Little Art through its project Tamasha is launching Tamasha YESPeace, an extensive program aims to empower youth through theater and performing arts, on the key issues of peace, conflict resolution and diversity.
“Youth for Education, Sustainability and Peace” or YESPeace is a project of UNESCO MGIEP and YESPeace Pakistan is recently launched. The Little Art is very excited to be its one of the founding member in Pakistan.
Tamasha YESPeace aims to develop skills among youth to understand and analyse; facilitate and lead conflict resolution activities; and engage audiences in their home communities for dialogue on key issues such as peace, conflict resolution, gender equality, cross-cultural understanding and diversity using the power of theater and performing arts.
By creating opportunities for youth to share their voices, the program aims to develop skills and attitudes necessary for a lifetime behavior change for civic engagement and peace-building. Interactive theater workshops will be a flexible set of games, exercises, and techniques that are used to create dialogue about the key issues.
