We come from far away

Grundtvig Learning Partnership supported by the European Commission.

We come from far away proposes, through theatre, a dialogue between civil society and the prison.

Theatre as a vehicle for training, personal, social, cultural and civic growth.
Theatre as an instrument to improve the expression and relationship skills of the prisoners, the integration of various ethnic groups and to simplify the reintegration at the end of the detention period.

“Detainees have the right to participate in recreational activities – sports, games, cultural activities, hobbies and entertainment activities – and should, as far as possible, be allowed to organize them”
(Article 27.6 of the European Prison Rule)

“Everyone has the right to take part freely in the cultural life of the community, to participate in the benefits of art, scientific progress and connected benefits”
(Article At.1 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – LSO rights)
