In theatre academies across Europe, students are initiating change and speaking out about misus-es of power at their institutions. In a challenging environment, where lecturers are often future col-leagues or employers and the very nature of the art forms demands going beyond normal human interaction, students are working to create fairer, safer spaces for learning and creative risk-taking, sometimes at great personal or professional cost. In this episode, we hear from current or former students from four countries who took actions to change their institutions’ culture. We’ll hear their stories and see what conclusions and strategies emerge from placing their experiences in dialogue.
