Ilaria Tucci

I work as a theatre practitioner (MA in acting, 2002), community facilitator, diversity agent, performer, playwright, actress, and theatre director. I use theatre as a nonviolent tool of peace education, conflict transformation and peacebuilding (MA in Peace Studies, 2013). 

In June 11th, 2022 I publicly defended my Doctoral Dissertation in Peace and Conflict Studies in Tampere University (Finland), focused on community-based theatre, feminist peace research and conflict transformation.

I currently work as researcher in the project Homeward (led by Dr. Bruno Lefort – funded by KONE Foundation, 2022-2024). During the project, I co-organise and facilitate the co-creative workshops in collaboration with my academic and activist colleagues and different stakeholders engaged in integration and social inclusion practices. I will be studying the process for research purposes, and in the final phase, I will work on the reflective analysis and the deliverables.

I have collaborated with the IOM (2016-2017) and I am currently Euromesco Expert in Mobility and Migration, Society and Culture.
