Hello all and happy belated New Year!

Well, we're moving on fast through 2012, and The Forum Project is excited for a bunch of new changes ahead. We will be dedicating much more energy and time to increase our program offerings, creating more opportunities for you to gain the tools and skills necessary to combat oppression through Theatre of the Oppressed and critical pedagogy. We are also building some new, exciting partnerships that will engage more leaders, organizers and community members in addressing issues of oppression and taking action towards liberation. Below you'll see a list of some of the great workshops already scheduled for 2012, and we're happy to announce that more will be on the way. Remember to register early, and don’t forget to forward this email on to your friends and colleagues!

We look forward to continue working with you in 2012.

All the best,
Leigh, Alex and Nayantara

Kind Words

I’m pretty introverted and often shy. By celebrating freedom of expression, little by little I learn to feel less self conscious... As I learn to feel more comfortable with myself, I learn to be more courageous, and I believe my own words, it will have an impact on the way and amount of strength I have to fight the oppression I face. It will make me a more efficient activist if I’m not afraid to be myself. ~Mily, activist
