AT A GLANCE
Caravan Next is a large-scale Social Community Theatre collaborative project connecting professional artists with communities and local citizens. The project was designed to bond professional artists with communities and citizens in a network of theatre organisations and cultural institutions consisting of 13 partners from 11 different European countries. The concept of Social Community Theatre is to use art and theatre to promote community empowerment. The project includes 40 cultural events in different European cities and 5 events in the United States, Morocco, Uruguay, Taiwan and Australia. The events will involve local communities on a common theme: European challenges of the Third Millenium.
