I understand."

When addressing sensitive topics it is usually not enough to simply tell the audience the information that we want them to know. If we really want to impact our audience we must show them something that's memorable, and then give them the opportunity to become involved in the program. Peer Improvisational Performance Education is an interactive method of encouraging student audience members to explore issues such as bullying, harassment, and related violence in a safe environment. Through improvisational acting techniques and facilitated discussion, participants are given the opportunity to see scenes of bullying and harassment, and then try out different methods for intervening. Participants leave programs with tangible skills that they can use in their daily lives.
