Our Vision

We envision a future where theatre and the performing arts are integral tools in shaping public perception, influencing policy, and cultivating a global movement for climate action.

We aim to build a Bangladesh where the arts play a critical role in addressing climate change and where communities come together to create solutions for a more sustainable, resilient future.

What We Do
At ACT-Bangladesh, we believe that theatre is not just an art form—it’s a powerful tool for change. Our work combines the transformative power of storytelling with urgent climate action, engaging communities and individuals across Bangladesh to better understand and respond to the challenges posed by climate change. We use ‘Applied Climate Theatre’ (ACT) as a creative platform to educate, inspire, and empower people of all ages. Through immersive performances, interactive workshops, and community-based projects, we aim to bridge the gap between climate science and public understanding. Our work is designed to make climate issues tangible, relatable, and actionable, fostering a collective sense of responsibility and hope.

Our Programs and Initiatives

Theatre Performances for Climate Awareness

Our core initiative is the development and performance of climate-focused theatre. These performances bring to life the realities of climate change—its impacts, its urgency, and its potential solutions—through creative storytelling. Whether it's a community play, a street performance, or a school-based production, our performances are designed to engage the audience, stimulate thought, and inspire action. By turning complex environmental issues into relatable, emotional stories, we make climate change a personal experience.

Interactive Workshops and Climate Education

We conduct a variety of workshops that combine theatre arts with climate education. These workshops invite participants—students, teachers, community leaders, and activists—to explore climate issues through interactive exercises, role-playing, and creative collaboration. By giving people the chance to act out climate scenarios and solutions; we help deepen their understanding of the science behind climate change and the urgency of collective action. These workshops encourage creative thinking and empower participants to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges.

Community-Based Climate Projects

ACT-Bangladesh is committed to working directly with local communities to address climate change. Through collaborative theatre-making, we help communities develop their own performances and narratives that reflect their unique environmental challenges. Our community-based projects are designed to empower local people to share their climate stories, raise awareness, and find solutions that are relevant to their own lives. From rural villages to urban centers, we ensure that the voices of all communities are heard in the fight against climate change.

Climate Theatre Research Projects

At ACT-Bangladesh, we recognize the urgency of addressing climate change through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Our ‘climate theatre research projects’ blend cutting-edge scientific research with the power of the performing arts, aiming to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and inspire action on climate issues. Through collaborations with climate scientists, researchers, and local communities, our projects explore the impacts of climate change and encourage deeper understanding of its consequences.

Collaborations and Partnerships

We collaborate with a diverse range of partners—including environmental organizations, schools, local governments, and other NGOs—to maximize the impact of our work. These partnerships enable us to reach more people, enhance our programs, and create synergies with other climate-focused initiatives. By working together with like-minded organizations and individuals, we amplify our message and ensure that our work contributes to lasting change.

Climate Advocacy through Art and Performance

In addition to our educational initiatives, ACT-Bangladesh also uses theatre as a platform for climate advocacy. We participate in national and international climate events, festivals, and forums where we use performances to influence policy discussions, raise awareness, and advocate for action. Through art and performance, we encourage audiences to engage with climate issues on a deeper level and drive meaningful conversations that lead to lasting change.

Climate change is a complex, global issue, but its impact is deeply personal and local. Theatre allows us to bring these abstract concepts to life in ways that are emotionally resonant and immediately impactful. Through performance, we can engage individuals in conversations about climate change that go beyond statistics and facts. We can foster empathy, provoke thought, and inspire action in a way that no other medium can. Climate theatre offers a space for collective reflection, where diverse voices come together to share stories, ideas, and solutions. It creates a shared experience that transcends barriers—be it language, age, or background—and unites people in the fight for a more sustainable, resilient future.
