Raising Awareness on GBV and TFGBV through Forum Theatre at “Xhevdet Doda” School

On 8 October, at “Xhevdet Doda” School in Prishtina, Artpolis held the premiere of the forum theatre performance “Behind the Screen”. This activity aims to raise awareness among young people about gender-based violence (GBV) and technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV).

Students watched scenes illustrating real-life situations where gender-based violence can occur, engaging in discussions and suggesting possible ways to intervene and protect victims. This interactive format allows young people to express their thoughts and reflect on their role in preventing violence.

The activity was met with interest and active participation from the students, who openly discussed various situations, challenges, and the importance of raising awareness within the community. The forum theatre created a safe space where students felt empowered to think critically and act to foster a safer and more respectful environment for everyone.

This activity is part of Artpolis and KWN’s efforts to educate young people and strengthen their knowledge about GBV and TFGBV, contributing to the development of a more aware and informed society on these issues. The activity was carried out by Artpolis, within the framework of the project implemented by the East-West Management Institute, Inc. (EWMI) and the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN).
