Through
the Freedom Theatre, the children of Jenin refugee camp have been able
to live another reality than the violence they normally endure. The
theatre's aim, through art and culture, is to help the children face
the trauma they’ve been living since during the 2002 Israeli
incursions. Jenin Refugee Camp children are largely deprived of a
normal childhood; this is why the Freedom Theatre provides them a stage
where they can develop the skills, self-knowledge and confidence which
empowers them to challenge their present realities. Mustafa Steti describes to AIC how the Theatre helped the children face their trauma.
