The “Combatants for Peace” movement was started jointly by Palestinians and Israelis, who have taken an active part in the cycle of violence; Israelis as soldiers in the Israeli army (IDF) and Palestinians as part of the violent struggle for Palestinian freedom. After brandishing weapons for so many years, and having seen one another only through weapon sights, we have decided to put down our guns, and to fight for peace.

Jana Sanskriti, a cultural organization based in Calcutta, supports 32 community theater groups in West Bengal that are using T.O. to write and present plays about alcoholism, dowry deaths and the accountability of panchayats, or village councils.

Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed, Inc. (PTO) supports people whose work challenges oppressive systems by promoting critical thinking and social justice through liberatory theatre and popular education.

Our approaches stem from the theories and practices of Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal. We foster collaborative connections to share, develop, promote, and document liberatory theatre, popular education, and other revolutionary actions. PTO serves as a resource for oppressed peoples and their allies in diverse communities, contexts, and traditions around the world.

Giolli social cooperative has been founded in Parma the 11th november 2008 but is based on Giolli association experience, 21 years long.
Giolli uses Boal's method (Theatre of the Oppressed), together with Paulo Freiire'Conscientization, Community Development Approach, Active No-violence, as tools to help the self-liberation of groups and individuals.

THEATRE FOR LIVING has evolved from Augusto Boal's "Theatre of the Oppressed" and David Diamond's interest in and commitment to a 'systems view' of the world. If we embrace the idea that a community is a living organism, how do we work with that larger consciousness, using a primal language (the theatre) to help it tell its stories? How do we do this without polarizing the living community into 'us' and 'them'? Once the story is acted on the stage, the living community engages in interactive, Forum Theatre - a creative, community-based dialogue.

2005 gegründet konnte das Legislative Theater Berlin unter der Trägerschaft des Nachbarschaftshauses Urbanstraße e. V. in Berlin-Kreuzberg 2008 das erste legislative Theaterprojekt durch- geführen. Mit dem Projekt "Der Fuß bist Du! Oder: Theater betritt Politik", das prekäre Lebens- und Arbeitssituationen thematisierte, konnten zum ersten Mal Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestages in ein legislatives Theaterprojekt involviert werden.

Das Legislative Theater Berlin versteht sich als Weiterentwicklung des von Augusto Boal in Brasilien entwickelten Theateransatzes "Legislatives Theater". Das LTB experimentiert mit künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen, um außerparlamentarischen Initiativen und Bürgern und deren Anliegen politisches Gehör zu verschaffen.
