Digital interactive Theatre: Behind closed doors

A considerable proportion of safeguarding work relates to the abuse of people who are living in their own homes. Domestic abuse is most commonly thought of as violence between intimate partners. To present the subtleties of assessing and managing domestic abuse, this innovative theatrical approach challenges audiences to make decisions about safeguarding and domestic abuse while providing opportunities to dialogue about approaches and legal frameworks that can be used. This is a live theatre production where the audience will use a participants response system to decide what the actor should do and influence the direction of the play.

The Digital Interactive Theatre will show a play about domestic violence. The play involving three actors will be led by a narrator guided by the audience’s opinion. The audience will vote (through their smart-phones) to select the direction of the play on several occasions throughout this session and the narrator will lead the actors according to the votes of the audience.

Open Market of Ideas

Open Market of Ideas is a session providing space for the presentation of plans for mental health projects with an objective to find partners in their conduct.  The session provides an excellent opportunity to find additional support, invite collaborators, develop new initiatives or join ongoing international activities.  Those interested will add their name to the list of speakers (15 speakers to be selected on a „first come first served“ basis) and have to be ready to talk for 5 minutes about your project or idea. It is entirely up to the speaker to arrange their presentation – PowerPoint slides can be used but this is not obligatory.

Those interested to participate and present are requested to sign up at the registration desk no later than 18:00 on 22 August.
