Chen Alon will be employing theatre methods to provide participants with tools to address any kind of conflict, tensions and differences that we might experience on our campus. He will be employing the method of the polarized theatre of the oppressed (by the Brazilian Augusto Boal), which he developed with Israelis and Palestinians, with prisoners, asylum seekers, and others.
