Teatro para la transformacion social: Herramientas pedagógicas. Tomo 3

Medellín: Corporación Jurídica Libertad (CJL);Asociación de Cooperación para el Desarrollo (AGEH) (2011), 93 pp.

"Desde hace más de seis años la Corporación Jurídica Libertad incorporó a su quehacer la atención de víctimas de crímenes de Estado como uno de sus propósitos estratégicos a ser desarrollado en el mediano y largo plazo. Reconocemos que el trabajo de representación de víctimas, y sobre to ... do el de motivación para la articulación a procesos organizativos sociales y populares, no ha sido fácil, en tanto los derechos a la verdad, la justicia y la reparación en una sociedad como la nuestra se encuentran lejos de ser garantizados desde una dimensión integral [...] Para el mantenimiento y fortalecimiento de esta apuesta, con copartes alemanas del Servicio Civil para la Paz y AGEH, hace ya casi tres años, bajo la tutela y responsabilidad de la directora y profesora de teatro Inge Kleutgens adelantamos una propuesta en teatro-pedagogía con el propósito de fincar un apoyo sicopedagógico a las víctimas y motivar su inclusión y la motivación propia y directa de sus derechos por medio de la expresión artística, posibilitada por la actuación a través del teatro. Durante este tiempo se han puesto en escena siete obras de teatro: “Bingo me gané”, “Ausente”, “La Madre”, “Pueblo del Barro”, “Sí o no”, “Más que conciencia” y “Cinco minutos” como uno de los productos paridos por el diplomado “Teatro-pedagogía para la paz y la transformación social”. Todas estas obras han contado con la participación de actores y actrices no profesionales, provenientes de las organizaciones sociales, populares y de víctimas presentes en la ciudad de Medellín y de algunas subregiones del departamento de Antioquia. Ahora nos corresponde presentar el producto de un proceso iniciado apenas seis meses atrás con el diplomado “Teatro-pedagogía para la paz y la transformación social”, contenido en el libro “Teatro para la transformación social”, en el cual se explica la importancia del teatro en la construcción de resistencia a la opresión teniendo como hilo conductor a la teatro-pedagogía. El teatro, en palabras de Inge constituye una expresión artística puesta al servicio de los demás y por sobre todo de los procesos de resistencia y de trasformación de las relaciones sociales imperantes."

TV Soap Operas in HIV Education: Reaching Out with Popular Entertainment
Inspiring Practice

Stuart Adams

Eschborn: German HIV Peer Review Group (PRG);Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) (2009), 38 pp.

"This publication looks closely at cases where Germany has supported the production and broadcast of television soap operas as key components of Behavior Change Communication (BCC) in three very different countries with three very different HIV epidemics: In Kyrgyzstan, the epidemic is largely conce ... ntrated among injecting drug users (IDUs), mostly young males but some female sex workers. It is spreading rapidly and there is concern it could soon spread into the general population. Originally broadcast in 2006, "Love as a Test" aims to get across messages that HIV affects not only "them" but could easily affect you and your loved ones and there are things you can do to prevent its spread and reduce its harm. In Dominican Republic, there are extremely high rates of HIV prevalence among ethnic Haitians who live in bateyes (settlements on agricultural plantations), rural areas and urban barrios. Originally broadcast in 2007, "Amor de Batey" aims to promote the consistent and correct use of low-cost but reliable condoms and, also, to empower women, improve their health and reduce child mortality. In Côte d'Ivoire, there are high rates of HIV prevalence throughout the country but much higher rates among women than men. Contributing factors include the common practice of having multiple concurrent sexual relations and low levels of education and specific knowledge about sexual and reproductive health. Originally broadcast in 1994, "SIDA dans la Cité" has aims similar to those of "Amor de Batey." The first series proved so successful that it lead to a second series, originally broadcast in 1996-97, and then to a third, originally broadcast in 2003. All three series have proved popular throughout French-speaking West and Central Africa. This publication shows how each series was developed, provides brief synopses, summarizes the results of formal evaluations and provides informal assessments. It draws lessons and concludes that television soap operas can make significant contributions to national responses to HIV. The most successful series are based on sound research, reflect the realities of life as it is lived by their target audiences, and are developed in a professional manner that ensures they meet high standards both as entertainment and as educational tools."
