Gerri has worked in many international contexts including Eritrea, Ethiopia, Uganda, New Zealand, Japan and Turkey.

In 2008 and 2006, Gerri was invited by the Jerusalem Inter-Cultural Centre to speak and lead workshops at their conference ‘Speaking Art’.  With participants, Gerri explored ways in which drama can be used in contexts of conflict, drawing on her experiences in Eritrea and in Northern Ireland. It was also an opportunity to meet theatre and music practitioners and facilitators working in Israel and Palestine and to learn from their experiences.

In 2005, she worked for the British Council in Oman, exploring the theme of leadership using drama techniques with an all-female group of trainee teachers.  Participants were very enthusiastic about the potential of drama in teaching and learning and used the opportunity to develop a range of approaches for the class-room.

 In 2002, Gerri worked in Malta on a collaborative project between women from three domestic abuse refuges in Malta, the Maltese Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, and the British Council. Participants created and performed a piece of theatre which examined the challenges women faced in having the abuse they faced taken seriously by the police, their neighbours and their families.
