In this episode we explore how performing arts can be used to address social issues such as the Agu in Northern Uganda, who are said to be a group of war-torn youth. We learn about the research carried out by Makerere University, one of Africa's leading universities, and how they developed a theatre performance to change the story of the Agu. 

We interview some of the researchers and performers and learn how they are using theatre as a tool for social change, empowerment and healing. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the Agu in their post-war context and how the performing arts can help them build a better future. Join us to experience the power and potential of theatre to transform the lives of the Agu in Northern Uganda. 🎭🎬
