Read about the project “The Freedom Bus”:
Since December 2011, The Freedom Theatre‘s Freedom Bus has engaged thousands of Palestinians and people from abroad in cultural actions that address Israel’s practice of settler colonialism, military occupation and structural apartheid.
“This year, the Freedom Bus aims to reach over 3000 children, youth and adults in the Occupied West Bank, Egypt and Jordan. This project connects communities, otherwise divides, through the sharing of stories and interactive community theatre. There are thousand of stories still waiting to be told.”
