Welcome!
The Association for Prevention of stigmatisation and education through theatre (UPSET) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2008 in Zagreb, and was founded by a young, newly graduated students of social sciences and humanities.
UPSET was established to bring together all those interested in active work on overcoming the problems of social stigma, prejudice and discrimination in the Republic of Croatia and the development of scientific research and education work by an amateur theatre, or respectively, with an innovative method of Drama-Action workshops.
The association is working on a social problem of stigmatisation, protecting human rights and combating social discrimination primarily through dramatic-action workshops – an innovative method that enables a creation of the unique space in which it is possible to simultaneously work in the community and achieve scientific research, educational, and cultural-artistic goals.
Thanks to its innovative method, UPSET represents an amateur theatre, scientific research community and centre for informal education on the subject of social stigmatisation.
Accordingly, Article 11 of the Statute summarises actions of UPSET as:
The association, in accordance with its objectives, works in the field of culture and arts (music and drama) amateurism, and in order to protect the human rights performs other activities of combating and protection against discrimination of people who for whatever reason feel stigmatised and excluded from active participation in society.
We are particularly proud of the fact that during the years of work the participants of our drama-action workshop were members of almost all social groups – ranging from highly educated PhDs and students to people unfairly stigmatised due to their physical, character or ethnic attributes. We are also proud of and that we held our Drama-Action workshop in the local community and within international projects and partnerships as well.
