Theatre of the Oppressed Project in cooperation with NASEEJ, Save the Children (USA).
Theatre of the Oppressed is an experimental form of theatre that aims at imparting theatre based methodologies to youth and kids, as a means of self expression and self development. Not only does the project enable a body of inspired youth to think creatively, but it also provides profound fodder for empowerment and intellectual growth.

The theatre serves as a platform for holding a number of workshops, namely drama, music, drawing, creative writing, story telling, photography and graphic design, that will enable youth to produce their own play, hence giving us the chance to see through the youth's eyes what they see and experience in their daily lives. Moreover, the youth experience team work and learn that together they can be more productive. Although they are characterized by simplicity, these plays help in bringing awareness to the community at large which is the first step towards solving a given problem.

"Encouraging Youth participation in the community" in cooperation with Coptic Evangelic Organisation for Social Services (CEOSS).

This project offers youth a series of workshops that relay certain messages and embed a sense of responsibility and tolerance. A curriculum is devised that uses non formal methods to encourage youth to explore themselves and their surroundings in the hope of becoming proactive members of their community.

It is worth mentioning that Nahdet El Mahrousa NGO has implemented a similar project entitled 'Misriyati' and was quite successful. A&A is basing its project on the curriculum devised by NM.



ME Book in cooperation with the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA)
ME Book, is a book that takes the children on a journey of self discovery. A journey during which children think about themselves and their living environment. The book becomes their best friend as page after page they learn more about themselves and explore new options. One of the objectives of this project is for the children to set goals and that gives them a sense of purpose.
