LOULU: POLITICAL EDUCATION MEETS INTERNET THEATRE

Advanced Training for Pedagogues Digital Culture Talks & Workshops

This advanced trainig session deals with the connection between theatre and media with a political education emphasis. It focuses on net-base right-wing radicalisation. The onlinetheater-live artists created an app called Loulu. It is downloadable for free and can be used in class. Students can playfully learn how social platform functions are purposefully used by right-wing networks. In this way, the app helps to identify right-wing propaganda and to nurture a critical stance towards extreme right aesthetics and narratives: How do right-wing networks organise online? Which roles do influencers play therein? How do you decipher extreme right codes?

During the advanced training session, the artists will work with you and the Loulu app. They will supply background information and collaborate on the development of strategies to also employ the app in class. This advanced training session is aimed at teachers, cultural and political educators, multipliers, and other interested parties.

Loulu was awarded the 2021 Amadeu Antonio Prize, the BRaVE Fair Innovation Prize, the Conceptual Support Award “Digital Dramaturgy” given out by the Kultursekretariat NRW in 2020 as well as an “Honorable Mention” at PLAY21.
