Vision

Culture is one of the key characteristics of Equal Society, seeking to empower the most vulnerable groups in society through the value of Art. Within the social structures operated by the Organization in Athens, Lefkada, and Corfu, cultural activities and creative workshops are organized on every occasion.

The culmination of our engagement with culture as a means of integration and reintegration is the establishment of the theatrical group "Walkabout" in 2017. The goal of the Group is to encourage its members to overcome psychological inertia, to regain confidence in themselves, to mobilize, and to reintegrate into society through drama therapy.

Methodology

The social integration or reintegration of the members of the Walkabout theatrical group is attempted through drama therapy. Drama therapy is a form of therapy through art. Through a variety of theatrical techniques, participants can be assisted in overcoming their problems and reintegrating into the social whole.

Members of Walkabout, through theatrical techniques and their daily engagement in the Group, have the opportunity to better understand themselves, to feel better about themselves, to believe in themselves, and to develop the skills that will help them become active members of society again.

«Η υποτροφία για εμένα είναι μια σημαντική ευκαιρία για μια νέα, καλύτερη ζωή!»

Our Protagonists

The theatrical group of homeless individuals, Walkabout, by Equal Society, is the only theater group in Greece composed of fellow citizens whose circumstances have led them to homelessness and social marginalization. Every day, the members of the group, in their efforts to stand on their own feet again, endeavor through theatrical techniques to develop their skills, mobilize, and believe in themselves.

Drama therapy, the daily collaboration required in rehearsals, and the continuous exposure demanded by Theater, inspire members of the theatrical group to change their lives and return to what we call “normality”, denying the word "homeless" to define them. In each of their performances, they remind us that weakness can become a driving force by delivering lessons of willpower, humanity, and solidarity.
