AmaTea

An active collective of creative youth that has existed in Chernihiv since 2006. Since 2013, it has the status of a public organization. The organisation is dedicated to using the power of theatre and cross-cultural projects to address social issues affecting local teenagers and young people. The organisation offers regular training courses on ‘drama in education’ for educators, students, and youth workers, and also creates family storytelling projects like Tales of an Old Suitcase, which bring parents and children together. Additionally, AmaTea coordinates the cross-cultural project Drama Space of the Museum. The ultimate goal of AmaTea is to use the methods and toolkits of culture and art to empower and enrich local communities, creating a safer, more friendly, and more tolerant environment for individuals to live, grow, and develop in. The organisation is made up of 12 members and 21 volunteers who are passionate about using their skills to make a positive impact.
