We are pleased to introduce the first issue of the FADO newsletter.
FADO (Finding Assistance, Delivering Outreach) is an Erasmus Plus-funded project aimed at combating gender-based violence through theatre. By using art as a tool for empowerment, FADO provides victims with the opportunity to regain confidence, share their experiences, and reintegrate into society.

The project
FADO is a theatre-based initiative against gender-based violence, funded by the Erasmus Plus program of the European Union.
It uses theatre to support victims, raise awareness, and foster social change. Through workshops, performances, and digital tools, it helps individuals regain confidence and become active citizens.
Second Meeting of the FADO Project Unites European Partners in Padova, Italy
This was our second transnational meeting for the FADO project, an ambitious effort to turn theatre into a tool for healing. We came from different places—Spain, Serbia, France, Cyprus, Italy—but for two days, in this room, we spoke the same language: change.
A Unique Online Theater-Based Pathway
Gender-based violence is a harsh reality for many, and reaching out for help can feel impossible—especially for those still in danger. By combining the art of storytelling with an accessible online platform, FADO offers a way for victims to find support without putting themselves at further risk.
How Socially Engaged Theater Helps Survivors of Gender-Based Violence Heal and Reclaim Their Voices
When it comes to healing from gender-based violence, words alone can sometimes fall short. That’s where the transformative power of the Socially Engaged Theater comes in. Through storytelling and performance, this approach gives survivors a voice, allowing them to reclaim their stories, inspire others, and build a stronger sense of community. The FADO project, backed by Erasmus+, harnesses this method to support victims across Europe, helping them break free from isolation and regain their dignity.
Visions of Change: How the FADO Consortium Is Combating Gender-Based Violence
In a world where gender-based violence continues to shatter lives and silence voices, the FADO project stands as a powerful counterforce—rooted in empathy, storytelling, and community action. FADO, which stands for Finding Assistance, Delivering Outreach, is not just a support system but a transformative movement.
FADO Highlights The Urgency of Combating Gender-Based Violence
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive crisis that affects millions worldwide, demanding comprehensive action and sustained commitment. Recent data underscores the gravity of this issue and the urgent need for effective interventions like those championed by the FADO project.
