KABAWIL’s work is based on their concept of relation oriented cultural work with youngsters and adults. It brings people from different backgrounds (social status, education and nationalities) together. Besides the professional training the groups also learn how to communicate, how to solve conflicts, to take responsibilities for themselves and others, some start to develop a new perspective for their life. Performing is one of the concepts milestones, it brings public apperception, approval and acceptance. KABAWIL’s work always emphasises on the actual and future living environments of the participants, based upon biography works with the various groups. KABAWIL’s team represents the Fine Arts, Dance, Music, Theatre,Creative Writing, cross cultural teaching and learning, sharing and interacting in a multicultural team on an eye to eye level. All these elements enable and help to develop new means of collaboration.
Establishing bridges between people of different cultures, ethical groups and different worlds. Nomads of culture and understanding.
