| Summary: | When seeking to engage a community and
disseminate critical knowledge and skills, experience points
to one of the most innovative, engaging, and effective
learning tools available. Interactive Theater has been
successfully applied to raise awareness, challenge
attitudes, and influence behaviors around a wide variety of
issues in diverse settings. Examples include public health
and conflict resolution issues in international communities,
faculty development issues on university campuses, social
justice issues in colleges and high schools, and
physician-patient communication in hospitals and medical
schools. The question at hand this past spring was: could
Interactive Theater be adapted and applied to engage and
train stakeholders who work to foster public-private
dialogue and private sector development in developing
nations? The answer was a resounding 'Yes.' This
smart lesson describes how Interactive Theater was
successfully used as a learning tool by the Investment
Climate Department during two sessions of the 6th annual
international workshop on Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) in
Vienna, Austria in June 2011. |
