The CONTRA project welcomes participants to their seminar “The Drama of Conflict – Working with Theatre in Urban Transformation” in Oslo, Norway, on 11-12 June 2024.
The organisers warmly welcome individuals engaged in addressing urban conflict, citizen participation, and arts-based approaches to tackle governance challenges to join us for the concluding seminar of the CONTRA project. This seminar aims to compare experiences and disseminate the results of our research focused on conflicts within urban spaces.
About CONflict in TRAnsformations (CONTRA) project
Through a comparative study of urban planning law and practices focused on climate transition in four countries, the CONTRA project studies how conflict is handled and investigates the connection with political and legal institutions to determine whether conflict is suppressed or actively used for sustainable transformation. The project also tests new ways to handle conflict. CONTRA pioneers a new model of living labs (Drama Labs) that uses theatre-based methods to experiment with productive conflict.
