Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed (PTO) supports a local organizing team to host an annual gathering of hundreds of educators, activists, change makers, actors and non-actors from all over the world. We come together to connect with each other, create solutions and art, and challenge each other to empower our communities and problem-solve in innovative ways. This year's conference emphasizes community-building across diverse groups. We welcome introductory and exploratory sessions by participants whose work fulfills PTO’s mission by not only promoting the opportunity for oppressed people to speak in their own voices, but listening to, amplifying, and disseminating what those voices say, the stories they tell, and the demands they make through liberatory theatre, popular education, and other methodologies. Proposals are due by January 20th. Dr. Karen Yescavage, professor of psychology, is the local host organizer. Please contact her for more info or to get involved.
