- Reports in the media of violence against various groups which consist of minorities within communities. The lukewarm reaction of society towards these, leads us to believe that there are high levels of indifference. This leads to a need for youth workers to Gain more knowledge and develop new skills regarding discrimination, prejudice, stereotypes recognition.

- The need to take the theatre to the people, challenging the bystander and the passive position of the audience. The need to be creative outside the strict confounds of formal theatre-making.
