Forum Theatre in the prevention of youth social passivity – NEETS

Kamila Witerska

Abstract


Forum Theatre is a theater of the oppressed. It shows a man in distress and attempts to release him from it. This is an interactive theater, in which the spectator takes the role of an actor and takes the action. The paper presents an attempt to deal with the Theatre Forum addressed to young people aged 15–25years doing the proverbial „nothing”, defined the term NEETS . This term, meaning in English, Not in Education, Employment or Training, concerns young people not engaged in social life, and thus deprived of the possibility of self-realization.
