This project was an innovative, interdisciplinary and collaborative global public health partnership which aimed to explore the mental health challenges and opportunities for resilience for internal migrants in Pune, India using theatre storytelling practices. Our focus was on co-creation of mental health and resilience knowledge for raising mental health awareness and support through community theatre engagement with migrant slum dwellers. The project resulted in two international conferences in India and the UK, a presentation at The Houses of Parliament and to date two peer reviewed articles in international journals, including Crossley, M, Barrett, A, Brown, B, Coope, J and Raghavan, R (2019). Systematic review of applied theatre practice in the Indian context of mental health, resilience and well-being. Applied Theatre Research, 7(2): 211-232.
