What Is Legislative Theatre and How the Stage Can Change the Game
Legislative theatre is not theatre that just “presents” problems. It is a method that seeks solutions and translates them into the language of policies, regulations, and laws. It is a form of socially engaged art that transforms a theatrical performance into a space for civic dialogue, turning the audience into active participants in the process of social change. It At its core, legislative theatre is grounded in the lived experiences of real people and real communities. It asks a simple yet radical question: What would change if those affected by a given problem had a genuine opportunity to take part in creating the solutions?
Connections: Reconnecting through movement – Erasmus+ Training Course

Nonviolent communication practice: Empathy Practice
What truly separates and connects us in communication? At our gathering, we explored how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps us listen deeply, recognize feelings and needs, and transform conflicts into understanding. Going through different processes we were reminded about the power of being heard without judgment. Going through decoding pseudo-feelings to stepping into different perspectives, each moment brought us closer to more authentic connections. This is just the beginning—feel welcome to take part when more gatherings will take place, as we’ll continue to explore the language of empathy
Into Our Wild | Erasmus+ Training Course
In June, Simona and Alice swapped city life for an adventure in Hopeland, Greece, taking part in the 'Into Our Wild' Erasmus+ training. Over eight transformative days, they explored nature, community, and self-discovery. From farm work under the Greek sun to playful improvisations and sharing circles, they embraced every moment. Surrounded by Hopeland’s lush landscapes, they slowed down, connected deeply, and gained fresh insights to bring back to Bulgaria. With gratitude-filled hearts, they’re ready to spread the wild spirit of Hopeland. Huge thanks to Hopeland and everyone who made this possible.
This is my inspiration for this theme and it is something I recently discovered as a mindset. I found new logic for my entire life through caring for another and how much hope that brings to an individual when they have to do things to make another creature’s life better and not their own. Which of course makes everyone in the equation happy.
