An Artistic Exchange for Intercultural Dialogue between Egypt and Slovenia

From the 4th to the 10th of June, Povod Institute in Slovenia hosted Mostafa Fatouh, founder and theatre director of GWANA for Arts and Development based in Alexandria, Egypt.
On the 5th of June, in the city of Ptuj, Mostafa met with the Ptuj local theatre team and Peter Srpčič, the director of Ptuj theatre. Through an interactive seminar, they exchanged experiences of Art and theatre for international cooperation and EuroMed dialogue.
On the 6th of June in the city of Ljubljana, Mostafa conducted an interactive theatre workshop for intercultural dialogue.
Fifteen participants who are staff members of CSOs in the ALF network in Slovenia attended the workshop. They learned about theatre-based techniques for personal development and intercultural communication; they also shared about their work as NGOs and CSOs working for intercultural dialogue and social inclusion.
During the exchange, we produced a short video by Fatouh on theatre-based techniques for brain and memory stimulation. You can watch the video here.
This exchange was possible thanks to ALF in motion program; you may learn more about it here.
