During two guest lectures for academic audiences on migration studies, Marieke van Houte presented the results of the pilot phase of CONTAINED Project in which we developed a trilogy of theatrical tools to connect experience, research and learning on migration.
The lectures are based on a draft explorative paper called ‘Contained: exploring out-of-the box tools to build resilience in refugee-receiving communities’, which reflects a search for effective tools to provoke thoughts, inspire dialogue and enhance empathy between refugees, migrants and non-migrants, with the ultimate goal of developing proactive responses against polarization in receiving societies.
