To create a good public dialogue you need citizens that are corresponding and participatory. Citizens who participate in the political process develop an increased knowledge about the society and the more knowledge about the society the larger reason to participate. Public discourses and participatory goes hand in hand, and the question is how to create those meeting places of communications. Forumtheatre is an interactive theatre method that wants to change passive spectators into active participators. The audience is given the chance to come up on the stage and chance an oppressing situation that is taking place. The situations handles problems of oppressing that different civil society can sustain. The civil society that is studied in the thesis is a student organisation in a university in Uganda, where the method of Forumtheatre was learned and used. (Less)
