Our 2022 programmatic theme, “Diversity of Displacement,” connected people all over the world through play and laughter. The displacement experienced by audience members includes:
- Protracted displacement (Programs in Kurdistan, Lebanon)
- Environmental displacement (Programs in Zimbabwe, Brazil, and Guatemala)
- Humanitarian crisis (Programs in Ecuador, Mexico)
- War and human rights violations (Programs in Poland, Romania, and Egypt)
Below, you’ll find our 2022 programs listed in alphabetical order with accompanying post links.
You’ll also find a copy of our annual report at the bottom of the page.
