Political engagement through theatre

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Seenaryo is looking for a diverse group of youth, aged between 18 - 25 years, and living in Lebanon to join a new participatory theatre project, in partnership with Seeds for Legal Initiatives and funded by the UN Democracy fund.

Don't hesitate to apply below. We're hoping to bring together a diverse group from all regions of Lebanon, who are open to engaging with new ideas.

The chosen participants will create an original play inspired by a political issue. They will then take leadership training and receive a budget to lead their own political theatre project and/or advocacy campaign.

It is a two-year project leading up to the January 2026 elections.
