Amani People's Theatre

View Additional Information


Office of the Special Adviser on Africa

Purpose: Amani is Swahili for 'peace'. The Amani People's Theatre (APT) makes use of theatre, performance and a 'multi-arts approach' in its work as an advocate for peace and nonviolence. APT works at the grassroots level in local communities, at youth conferences and at peace festivals in Kenya, encouraging participants to respond proactively to conflict. It also offers intermediate-level training in leadership and conflict transformation. Over the next few years the Theatre will be researching Afro-centric models of peace-making which might be applied to conflict situations.
Illustrative Project: We produce a quarterly newsletter entitled: Mbiu, the Call of the Artiste-Peacebuilder.
