CAUSE Canada is proud to offer a variety of workshops for people of all ages in Alberta!

Our workshops can use theatre games and interactive techniques to create dialogue around our role as global citizens.  We want participants to be challenged, to learn, to gain new perspectives, and, most of all, to have fun in the process!

All of our workshops are sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and are offered free of charge.

Some of the workshops we offer (can be tailored to meet group needs)Bringing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Life  (1-3 hours)

Participants will explore the MDGs and links between them, and will gain an increased awareness about international issues and ways to become involved.

Perceptions of Poverty (1-3 hours)

Participants will explore their attitudes about issues surrounding poverty in Canada and overseas and create ideas about how to make a difference.

Giant Puppets Bring Giant Change (paired with #1 or 2 for a total of 6hrs + performance)

After completing an MDG/Perceptions workshop, participants need a stage—a way to get the message out!  Here, participants will create their own play and perform using our giant 9-foot puppets!

In Their Shoes - Poverty Simulations (30min-2 hours, can be paired with other workshops)

By creating paper bags for pennies apiece or creating rules and competing for limited resources, participants will gain an increased perspective and understanding about the realities of poverty.

Development on the Ground (30 min-1hr)

Participants will learn about the realities of overseas development work.  They’ll discuss, watch videos and learn about previous CAUSE projects that have been implemented (literacy, HIV/AIDS, etc...) and talk about globalization, barriers and how to bring change to our world.
