Employing a methodology known as Participatory Theatre for Change, Africa Directions engages communities to collectively research, critically analyse their own situations, and develop and perform artistic and cultural content that reflects their reality. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of life, fulfilment of rights and facilitate social transformation towards a just and peaceful society
