    (African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, 1979-07-07) Ongewe, D, A,
    This report provides a summary of discussions held by Groups 3 and 4 during the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research in Mzumbe, 1979. The groups examined two case studies: popular theatre in Botswana and a study by Swartz on the coastal region of Tanzania. The discussion primarily focused on Botswana, noting the efficacy of extension services given the country's small population and accessibility. Key themes explored include the role of popular theatre in liberation, challenges posed by government bureaucracy, and the missed opportunity to ground theatre in local cultural expressions to demystify social and political issues. The report emphasizes the importance of aligning theatre programs with the socio-cultural context of communities to enhance their relevance and impact.
