Applied Theatre in Peace Education & PracticeJeff Aguiar
This document discusses using simulations, scenarios, and role-playing (applied theatre techniques) to train peace practitioners. It argues that applying theatrical principles can strengthen the connection between experiential education and peace and conflict studies. Experiential education uses direct experiences and reflection to increase knowledge and skills. Role-playing in classroom simulations provides opportunities to practice techniques, while field experiences verify how techniques apply in real situations. Theatrical principles may help increase the benefits of simulations by providing a structured intervention model within a safe environment.

The document reviews challenges in labeling ingredients like sugar, corn products, and complex ingredients. It also discusses food trends involving flavors, functions, allergens and gluten that impact clean labels.

by both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, inQUEERy is activating its
mission in several stages, the first being the creation of an online presence within the Triad
LGBTIQ community as a go-to resource for connecting area citizens to valuable resources
existing within the local community. Unlike similar services—the GLBT National Help Center
(www.glnh.org) in particular—and the resource pages of organizations currently working the
Triad, www.inqueerygso.org will serve as a locally driven advocacy and education tool
providing support and connections for citizens within the region.
In recent years, the political arena has been filled with the pursuit of LGBTIQ social and
economic equality—an intersection of multiple oppressive systems—most often seen in
legislation to define marriage as a traditional institution, enumerating the legal definition as that
of a contractual agreement between one man and one woman and the pursuit of employment
non-discrimination legislation. There has also been a rapid increase in the number of adolescent
suicides related to sexual identity, gender expression or the perception of those two facets of
identity (as cited in HHS, 2012). Additionally, Guilford county school youths, as reported in the
2011 Guilford County Youth Risk Behavior Survey, track closely with the North Carolina
averages for students experiencing or witnessing bullying in both middle and high schools due to
perceived sexuality. These emergent themes serve to suppress liberated identity expression and
continue to devalue the contributions of LGBTIQ citizens to the common welfare. As the
LGBTIQ community grows stronger in its self-identification, it is also necessary that its
resources move to track with the growth.
3. In keeping with this growth, inQUEERy proposes to develop the currently registered
domain of http://www.inqueerygso.org to facilitate the referral of LGBTIQ identified citizens
and their allies to salient resources within their communities. The database portion of the website
will include information regarding services provided, regular operating hours and any
information regarding intake procedures to receive services. This database will be in continuous
development with both established and emerging organizations focusing on LGBTIQ issues
within the Triad.
Granted monies will provide funding for contracting website development, web hosting,
acquisition of web design software, plus training for staff members and volunteers to manage the
website. Within this project, inQUEERy will garner a user-friendly website interface, web
hosting with a suitable server that can grow with the demands of inQUEERy’s expansion of
service while providing a one-stop shopping experience for LGBTIQ individuals, allies and
health professionals needing resources dealing with LGBTIQ issues like coming out, personal
health, community engagement, and social advocacy. The project will culminate in a website
launch event to coincide with the release of the website and focus on creating awareness of the
database with featured organizations and preview particular features designed to create an
inviting, interactive experiences for users.

intake or service utilization as documented by marketing metrics (where did you hear
about us?, etc…).
Service recipients will be able to provide feedback and rate service providers in moderated
discussion, providing valuable insight into the LGBTIQ community for service professionals
o Measure: social engagement via online presence including inqueerygso.org and other
online social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc…)
