Theatre for Peace

Within the context of the new Theatre for Peace programme, UNICEF in collaboration with the Youth Stage of the National Theatre of Greece invite young refugees aged 13-20 years old from Ukraine and other countries to participate in theatre workshops where will also participate young people of the same age from Greece, with the ultimate goal to gather material that will contribute to the creation of a play.  

This new play will be presented in a series of performances at REX theatre between October and December 2023 and its goal is to raise awareness among the audience, irrespective of their age, regarding the war’s impact on people’s lives and, especially, on the young people’s lives and at the same time to highlight it's transcendental power for life and for a peaceful coexistence in an ever-changing world.  

These workshops will be coordinated by Sophia Vgenopoulou, the Youth Stage’s Programme Manager, and a team of the National Theatre’s theatrical pedagogue professionals and actors.
