We developed a toolkit to help trainers working with community activists using Forum Theatre based on our own research experiences. As we had to work online, we developed two versions, one for in-person training and one for online only training.

1. For In-Person Workshops: Toolkit for Civic Engagement through the Practice of Theatre of the Oppressed, Frances Rifkin and Erene Kaptani
2. For Online Workshops: Toolkit for Civic Engagement through the Practice of Theatre of the Oppressed, Frances Rifkin and Erene Kaptani
