"Community engagement programs offer the opportunity for community members to reflect on the development avenues and potentials in their local communities which have not been fully tapped and utilised. Behavioral change and local level conscientisation geared towards community development is a shared responsibility. This shared responsibility is achieved when community members engage with each other on a common platform to find solutions to their challenges. Active participation process enables people to raise their own issues with outsiders and encourages them to take responsibility for their own development. This paper examines the use of the Theatre for Development (TfD) methodology as a community engagement tool. Theatre for Development presents a flexible process of collating and using data about community development project for live performances. The paper further discusses how the TfD approach has been utilised for youth mobilization against unemployment in a rural community." (Abstract)
