Wécré Théâtre Forum is part of a Burkinabe theatre company, which created an association seven years ago.
"Wécré" is a word in Mooré, one of the languages spoken in Burkina Faso, which means "light, brightness, clarity".
The association is composed of ten members, who are themselves comedians. Their aim is to raise awareness among young people of the problems they meet. The association also aims to promote meetings of people of different cultures thus their use of international voluntary workcamps as a tool for that purpose.
PROJECT:
This project aims to raise awareness through theatre about health problems. It is open to all, with or without acting experience. The work will consist on the creation of short sketches, which will be played in the local language, Mooré. Therefore the local volunteers will give lessons to the international group in this language. Small teams will meet the inhabitants in order to introduce the project.
Leisure time, the discovery of the country and cooking will be organized between national and international volunteers. On arrival, volunteers will put up an activity program in order to plan their free time. Those will be moments for sharing, meeting and exchanging.
« The organisation of the camp community was fantastic! The group was great and we bonded quickly, language was always going to be a tricky one, but everyone attempted English and Indonesian so it made the whole experience fun and educational. »
