Date:
Event location: Aula VI (ground floor), Via Zamboni 38, Bologna

This theatre workshop aims to create a welcoming and supportive environment, encouraging reflection on the values of unity and sharing through art. It highlights the importance of being together and asks participants: by staying united, can we improve our future? Can we build a better tomorrow together?
The workshop seeks to create a space for exchange and interaction among students, fostering mutual understanding and overcoming cultural barriers. This project is not only for those who want to act but is also open to musicians, dancers, visual artists, and anyone wishing to contribute their art to a shared creative context.
The initiative coincides with the celebration of Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, which falls between 20 and 21 March 2025. Nowruz means "New Day," symbolising the start of better days, fresh and full of new opportunities. It is a traditional and deeply significant celebration in Iran, marked by moments of renewal and appreciation for life. During Nowruz, people come together, visit friends and family, and strengthen emotional and social bonds.
The workshop will take place every Wednesday from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM starting 19 February.
Registrations are closed; the workshop is fully booked.
The workshop is also available on the same dates from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM and will conclude with a joint session between the two groups.
