The SCT Centre carries out the university training activities for professionals of the Social and Community Theatre through the Master of Social and Community Theatre (4 editions since 2003) and through continuous education courses, including Summer School, intensive seminars and international workshops.
The Social and Community Theatre is an effective methodology of training young people and adults, citizens and professionals, individuals and working groups. It is able to develop (enhance) communication skills, cooperation, team work, management of the unexpected, context and role analysis.
