IMPROject is an international Training Course on Improvisation and Youthwork! Come to learn to (re)act naturally!

Improvisation serves to strengthen one’s confidence in himself and in his skills and abilities. It allows participants in training to experience visceral, ‘in the moment’ practice within an overtly reflective and supportive environment.

Furthermore, improvisation encourages one to actively seek the unfamiliar, rather than simply learn to cope with it. It also represents a more fitting response to the complexity of human relations in which youth workers operate and thereby help to preserve the integrity of process-based practice.

This training is for you, if you…
-want to explore and experiment with specific tools from non formal artistic fields (theatre, dance, creative expression),
-can “survive” joyfully 9 days in a tent and in close contact with nature and other people,
-are willing to actively participate in community building practices (preparation of food, taking care of the venue and the group…),
-can adapt to a program that goes with the flow (of nature, of the group, of the environment),
-are open to sharing your own skills and learning the skills of others,
-are motivated and willing to commit to work on the objectives of the training course and participate in the whole duration of the project (preparation, training course, follow-up activities).

During the training you will be:
-collecting new inputs and inspiration that renew motivations to act with commitment and new ideas.
-refreshing curiosity and playfulness in approaching your work in order to prevent burning out.
-improving your trainers’ skills to be more efficient, adaptable, responding to issues and demands in your work.
-widening your perspectives and points of view to see new opportunities, create new patterns, and avoid situations of stalemate when working with people with different cultural background.
-gathering specific tools from non formal artistic fields (theatre, dance, creative expression) that are not easily accessible for all the youth workers.

By training your own awareness, acceptance, sense of initiative you can improve the quality of your actions. We wish to support you in finding ways to more efficient and creative approach through improvisation – by developing your skills to be fully present, listen, accept and act, by equipping you with new improv based tools that you can later on use in your practice.
