Wise Bodies

It is a KA1 training course about body expression, movement and self-awareness for youth workers so that they can work with body
exercises with young people with fewer opportunities.

Participants will enjoy different approaches for body work, such as contact, conscious movement and other disciplines coming from contemporary dance that together with Gestalt therapy will create the framework of the learning process.

Description

The aim of this youth exchange is to develop youth workers’ competences in facilitating youth work activities involving the work with body and other physical activities with youngsters with fewer opportunities.

Our specific objectives are:
– To create a safe space for exchange, mutual learning, and intercultural interaction among youth workers through artistic approaches within contemporary dance.
– To raise awareness of youth workers about the health benefits of conscious movement, and choreographic theatre.
– To foster youth workers’ creativity and spontaneity so that they find new ways for selfexpression.

– To develop youth workers’ knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding the current trends in contemporary dance that may benefit youth work when it comes to deal effectively with young people with fewer opportunities.
– To explore and learn how to create dance or choreographic theatre plays with groups of young people with fewer opportunities.
– To promote participants’ self-awareness about their own professional needs that have connection with them from a perspective of training style and way of facilitating learning processes.
– To provide participants with the necessary tools to effectively facilitate and cope with emotions arising in conflicts within a group.
– To foster the networking of participants’ organizations for the development of future projects together with Erasmus+ Programme.
