/ training and opportunities for artists to work with children and young people at risk/
Projects:

The projects have involved 76 girls from a boarding house, who had been placed there for juvenile prostitution, thefts or involvement in traffic. Before entering the house, most of the girls had been exposed to repeated acts of domestic and sexual violence. The aims of the artistic activities were to offer expression to all unrevealed emotions – anger, despair, shame, sadness, hope, tenderness, love – that had remain unspoken, unshared, unknown.

- Program “Theatre and education”
Projects:

“She Was the Same or Almost the Same”- an experimental one-woman performance based on actual stories written and told by girls from a penitentiary boarding house for juvenile prostitutes in Bulgaria. The incentive for the performance came out from a four-year long artistic work with girls from the house which has become source of extensive artistic production (tales, diaries, records, drawings, songs, staged plays) and intimate personal experiences for both the young women and the actress / Bistra Choleva/.
