Staging energy poverty - exploring lived experiences of energy poverty through theatre methods:
More and more households struggle to pay their energy bills. Yet, our understanding of what it means to live in energy poverty remains limited. StEP aims to identify the main problems experienced by households living in energy poverty and the potential solutions they envision. Using a creative participatory method, forum theatre, StEP reflects on the experiences with participants, social workers, and policy-makers to design solutions to energy poverty.
Staging energy poverty is financed by an NWO XS Grant.
