UNODC is pleased to present its teacher’s guide to using Forum Theatre to promote the rule of law, ethics and integrity, in secondary schools. Education plays a crucial role in strengthening young people’s engagement when it comes to the rule of law, ethics and integrity. Through the development of cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural skills, students and educators can become transformative change-makers in society and can help communities become more sustainable and peaceful.
This guide is comprised of a series of exercises that are designed to help educators prepare and facilitate Forum Theatre sessions that address topics related to crime, justice and the rule of law. It also includes preparatory and customized exercises essential to the development and presentation of Forum Theatre plays with the on-stage participation of audiences.
