Description OBJECTIVES: We describe processes and outcomes of emancipatory action research, which aim was to find out what knowledge about “social housing“co-produce people with this experience and what action strategies they propose on the basis of such knowledge. THEORETICAL BASE: Conceptual framework is based on concept of housing exclusion and theatre of the oppressed method. METHODS: We analyse screenplay of theatre performance „Having home means being housed!“, realized in chosen neighbourhoods. OUTCOMES: As central theme we identify business with poverty in flats. Within performances, we co-produce action strategies against business with poverty in flats, concretely: accommodation at family members or neighbours, support of social worker, request to get back the deposit, blockade of eviction, in the unity there is power, tent on the square, collective negotiation with the owner. Decision not to give up, solidarity and going public show as key topics of those strategies. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: We discuss in what way theatre of the oppressed contributes to critical reflexivity as a way of seeing reality and to development of critical practice in social work.
