The Bill Brookman Foundation is a direct-action voluntary organisation which organises theatre/arts events world-wide and in Britain using the arts for social cohesion and celebration in adversity. 

(We are a fellow organisation of 

Bill Brookman Productions Ltd, a street arts and theatre company. If you've come to the wrong site you might like to click there now!)

De War Don Don festival in January 2006.

The Foundation’s current principal project has been requested by the

International Labour Organisation (ILO), to assist with their IPEC project (International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour). Based in Turin and Geneva, IPEC has developed SCREAM, an arts-based educational package which can be used to educate children in all societies about such subjects as their rights and international law on the employment of children. 

Bill Brookman is acting as consultant to revise and devise a new module of SCREAM on  Worst Forms of Child Labour, to assist potential child soldiers, porters, ‘wives’ and other young people to resist recruitment before, and assist rehabilitation after, armed conflict in developing countries, and as an educational tool for children in industrialised countries.

Bill made a field trip to Uganda in November 2008, and will go to Nepal in January 2009, to pilot his new SCREAM module.
