International Projects

To address the most pressing global issues, Bond Street Theatre creates projects worldwide, in conflict and post-conflict zones, refugee areas, and with specific groups, such as women and girls or youth. These projects, often conducted in collaboration with local artists, use the theatre arts as a tool to:​

• Disseminate information
• Achieve human rights outcomes
• Amplify the voices of marginalized groups
• Promote peacebuilding practices
• Create opportunities for psychosocial support​
