What is ‘Otesha’? The Otesha Project uses theatre to mobilize young people to create local and global change through their everyday choices. It’s a national youth-run charitable organization created in 2002. To date, Otesha has reached over 115,000 Canadians through theatre presentations and workshops that inspire youth to re-evaluate their daily consumer choices to reflect the kind of world they want to live in.

We look forward to hearing about what you envision for a better world. The Otesha Project is an equal opportunity organization and we value the different expertise and diversity of our participants and employees. We strive to make our programs accessible and will work with committed individuals to ensure participation. Bursaries are available.
