March Workshop an International and Intercultural Success

From March 17 to March 22 the Mountain Home Retreat Center at Barking Horse Farm in Puriscal, Costa Rica was transformed into a mini-United Nations. Except here the members were not giving speeches and calling for the creation of committees, instead they were using Dramatic Problem Solving to address the issue of Tolerance to Cultural and Social Diversity. 

The group of DPS Workshop participants featured members from Egypt, Benin, Brazil, Germany, Canada, the United States, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Japan. 

We worked through the DPS process and created a lively, engaging, and real Forum  theatre play that was presented to the local community. The community responded with imaginative, important, and realistic interventions that got everyone thinking, talking, and changing. 

This March's workshop was one of the best ever, both for its international component and for the quality of the work produced. 

I wish everyone who participated in it all the best. And I hope that we all get the chance to work together again.
