International
Outreach
The
Children's Peace Theatre has set an important long-term goal:
to respond to an internationally articulated need for programming
for people living in situations of trauma. In 2002, the Artistic
Director made an official presentation at the United Nations outlining
the philosophy and work of the Children's Peace Theatre. The dialogue
that followed elicited an energetic, positive response from many
of the NGO's represented at the Special Sessions for Children
of the World. We became aware that aspects of our programs
are well suited to help people in a variety of situations give
expression to their distress. Increasingly, there are many who
believe that programs supporting the emotional and psychological
well-being of victims of war or natural disasters are as important
as traditional first-line aid (shelter, food, water, and medicine).
We welcome the opportunity to discuss and develop such programming
with interested agencies and organizations.
