Puppets with a meaning

Making Puppets from papier-mâché and performing with hand puppets have been part of MMCC’s activities since the very beginning back in 2002. This year the puppets have however become an even more integrated part of MMCC. In the beginning of the year we participated in a “United Nations of Puppetry” exhibition in Germany. In the early summer ShirKhan, one of our best artists, went to India for a puppet workshop, and thanks to the German Goethe Institute, we also had a 3 weeks puppet workshop in our center conducted by Mr. Jagodzinski, a German puppet master.

The new puppet activities are now being utilized for making educational workshops for children in the provinces. This autumn MMCC conducted three puppet workshops in northern regions. The workshops all included an educational theme about Conflict Resolution.
