Theatre without Borders

 

In 2014 and 2015, the project "Theatre without Borders" was carried out for children from orphanages. 14 orphanages with at least 500 children were visited in different municipalities across Lithuania.

 

The aim of the project was to awaken children's curiosity for creative expression by playing theatre games, reading poems, organizing shadow theatre workshops, creating an atmosphere of immediacy, encouraging children to express their emotions through the language of theatre and through communication, and to feel a sense of togetherness in the creative process.

 

We believe that theatre and all creative activities allow children to open up, to explore their emotions and potential, to connect, and in this way to find hope and release tension.

 

 

Against the bullying

 

Bullying is a form of aggression and violence that is very damaging to mental health. In 2022, the theatre „Cezaris Group“ organized creative-educational bullying prevention events for schoolchildren in three Lithuanian municipalities.

 

The aim was to raise awareness and understanding of bullying as painful and damaging for all: both for the children who are bullied, for those who bully and for those who observe bullying. This was realized through a combination of the performing arts, literature, findings from psychological research, and a discussion with pupils.

 

This project was not only a creative and emotionally impactful way to discuss the current issue of bullying with students in order to change their behaviour, increase empathy and improve their psychological health, but also a means of awakening their interest in theatre arts and literature.

 

The events were organised in schools of Vilnius city, Panevėžys and Utena districts municipalities.

In Panevėžys district schools, the project was financed by Panevėžys district municipality.

In the schools of Utena, the project was financed by the municipality of Utena district.

 

In 2023, the theatre continued its bullying prevention activities.

Mental health projects, organising creative-educational events to prevent bullying, were carried out in schools in Elektrėnai, Utena district, Varėna district and Vilnius district, with the support of the municipalities of the districts.

The common goal of all these projects is to raise the sensitivity and awareness of pupils of all ages through creative means, so that children and young people find more motivation not only not to bully, but also to recognise and prevent bullying and, if they are bullied, to dare to talk to adults about it.

 

 

In 2024, “Cesario grupė” continues to contribute to the mental health of the younger generation by organising educational-creative events in schools through role-playing games and staged reading of literary works. The events aim to develop students' emotional literacy and empathy, change behavioural attitudes to reduce bullying among school-age children, and help Lithuania to move away from its crown as Europe's bullying leader. Information on the harms of derogatory communication not only in schools but also at home is also shared with parents of pupils.

 

We are grateful to the municipalities of Vilnius, Visaginas, Elektrėnai and Utena, Širvintos and Zarasai who, recognizing the importance of respectful communication, are supporting our projects in 2024!
