The case of the forum theater were based on the choices and thoughts youth in Nepal deals with in their everyday life. The Danish youth were chatting with nepalese youth getting knowledge on the nepalese society and information on what it takes to be youth in Nepal - the posibilities to act - to perform their part in the forum theatre.

They generated a space for exchanging ideas and perspectives on how we as youth can act upon and with in the society we live in. Read more about YOUTH ACTION NOW hereRead more about YOUTH VOICES here
