Feather Picking

From the theatre play to the docufiction to the workshop in sixth form: each time borders are transgressed: lived discrimination is lifted onto stage; young Roma incarnate their and others' stories in plays or films; they are trained for this; young Roma and non-Roma come into sixth form and ask questions on the life of young Roma and on the relation between Roma and non-Roma. "Feather Picking" has multiple socially innovative effects: the participants get ahead professionally, the culture scene is stimulated in terms of content and form, and schools open themselves to a discourse that was hitherto socially neglected.
