Over a period of ten months, from March to December 2022, we had the opportunity to work with 42 communities in Lebanon to promote a culture of non- violence, by forming a team of facilitators/clowns that met with a task force in these different communities. Together, they came up with ideas for activities for a public event day in their respective comunities.

The event was divided into two parts; one for play and activities, and another for a forum theatre play created by the Clown Me In team. Each group had to choose two of four scenes proposed by CMI, which were about violent situations that happen on a daily basis at home, at school, or even on the streets. The spectators were invited to come up on stage, take the role of one of the characters and change the flow of the action to prevent violence and deal with the problem in a more peaceful way.

Through this project, we were able to reach 9,200 people across 42 events.
