Community Theatre For development is a kind of participatory theatre that encourages improvisation and allows audience members to take roles in the performance or it can be fully scripted and staged, with the audience simply observing. Many productions are a blend of the two. The Theatre of the Oppressed, an influential collection of theatrical forms developed by Augusto Boal (Brazilian) in the 1970s, is a central theatrical part of community theatre for development as it aims to create dialogue and interaction between audience and performer as a means of promoting social and political change. Contending that it has the potential to build developmental consciousness among community members around social issues affecting them, Community theatre provides a believable and interesting way to explore cultural, socio-economic, and developmental realities thereby changing the way people think, entertain, socialize and act. Community theatre also serves as a platform for diverse cultural expression. It brings stories from different backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives to the forefront, offering audiences a rich couple of narratives they might not encounter elsewhere. Simply, this module “PEE3141” is to equip undergraduate students with couple of knowledge, skills and techniques to engage the audience, survey a significant relevance of community theatre for development, design and act the authentic theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor spaces without a specific paying audience, as well as exploring the potentials of Community theatre as a tool for Social -economic change.

Learning resources

Reading advice
The reading specified for this module is unlike that for any other course that you might study. It has been deliberately restricted to a handful of key texts. There will be many fewer than usual references to specific journal articles or books. However, the emphasis is on methods here and it is anticipated that you will be learning by doing most of the time, although this will inevitably involve reference to and reading the key texts.
Internet sources are invaluable in providing, often official, information for geographers to use. Again from time to time you will be referred to some representative sites to access data or other information. If you search out your own sites and sources (which you are encouraged to do) always be aware that there is little quality control on the information publicly available on the internet. It is always worth asking questions about quality of data provided and motives for providing them. The following databases are accessible on URCE desktops.

Economic decisions in every society must be based upon the information available at the time the decision is made. If decisions are to be consistent with the intention of the decision makers, the information used in the decision process must be reliable. Unreliable information can cause inefficient use of resources to the detriment of the society and to the decision makers themselves.
As society become more complex, there is an increased likelihood that unreliable information will be provided to decision makers. As a means of overcoming the problem of unreliable information, the decision-maker must develop a method of assuring him that the information is sufficiently reliable for these decisions. In doing this he must weigh the cost of obtaining more reliable information against the expected benefits. A common way to obtain such reliable information is to have some type of verification (audit) performed by independent persons. The audited information is then used in the decision making process on the assumption that it is reasonably complete, accurate and unbiased.
This module will provide students with an understanding of auditing concepts and International Standards in Auditing (ISAs)
This module aims at enabling students to explain the place of semantics and pragmatics in linguistic theory and apply the notions of semantics, pragmatics to the teaching of English as a foreign language, to translate texts from one language into another with reference to English. Students will also be enabled to analyze linguistic problems faced by multilingual learners and communication between people of different cultural backgrounds.
This Module describes the meaning of scientific research, the steps undertaken in the research process as well as the the Methods and techniques that used to carry out a scientific research in Economics fields.
It mainly aims at providing a deep knowledge and understanding of the research process, analytical skills related to qualitative and quantitative data in Economics.
The module will be delivered main through the on-line learning where every individual student is required to actively participate in various activities that are on this Moodle platform. The forum activities will help the learners to share views and feedback about some elements related to the course. The Quiz will help to assess the level of knowledge and understanding.
