Edutainment : The SADC, Drama for Life Programme

Education through drama

The Drama for Life Programme was developed by SADC in partnership with GTZ. It aims to build capacity in the area of HIV/AIDS and education through drama and theatre. Launched in 2006, the three-year programme runs in all SADC member states which include Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The programme plans to stimulate a stronger use of Applied Drama and Theatre practices (Drama in education, Drama Therapy, Playback Theatre, Theatre in education, Theatre of the oppressed, Community Theatre and Theatre for Development) in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the region.
