Working with or interested in Pedagogy of the Oppressed or Theatre of the Oppressed? The 2025 PTO conference is accepting proposals, and we at Augsburg have special permission to take a bit longer to put session proposals together! This year’s theme is Confronting Injustice: Transformation, Reparation, and Radical Imagination, and the conference will be convening at the University of Nebraska Omaha June 5-8, 2025.
Each year PTO (Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed) gathers educators, artists, community organizers, social workers, and any other folks interested in pedagogy, the arts, and social justice. It would be amazing to have some folks from Augsburg presenting! Additionally, Julian Boal (son of Theatre of the Oppressed’s Augusto Boal) will be presenting a three day Forum Theatre pre-conference workshop.
There’s a chance of bringing the conference here to Augsburg in 2026, and this is a great opportunity to see what it might be like!
The link included will take you to the session proposal form with lots more information about the conference. The call can be read in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. And please feel free to share it with people you think might be interested.
