Tools for Social Development
The project aim at providing a platform for exchange of good practices for participants using innovative approaches to address social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities through creative and innovative theater tools and methods.
“By introducing theatre and drama method to a group of children excluded from school who suffered from low self-esteem and behavioral problems, we succeeded in bringing a much-needed sense of pride and self-confidence in their abilities.” – Cathy Woolley – Outreach and Community Involvement Officer.
Drama and Theatre has significant implications in inclusion and in learning, although it still searches for its place in school’s everyday life. Participants through Drama and Theatre learn to cooperate and not to compete with each other, to approach knowledge via experiential learning, with emotional involvement, to solve problems, to take decisions, to acquire empathy, and to recognize otherness.
The major aim of this project is to support youth/social workers to develop their competences in empowering young people with fewer opportunities to become aware of, and act on, their dreams and visions of their own futures.
Objectives:
– To train group of youth workers from different countries and to build their capacities on how to use different drama and theater techniques as tool for social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities,
– To explore diverse methods and tools from different drama schools
– To explore drama as a tool to work with young people with fewer opportunities
– To share best practices of using theater tools in non-formal education and Human Rights Education
– To provide participant’s with methods on how to transfer knowledge and experience to young people from their local communities
– To create an open space for development and share of best practices, tools and methods
– To get to know more about Erasmus+ Programme opportunities for young people
With project ‘’Tools for Social Development’’ we intend to contribute to effective inclusion of youth people with fewer opportunities, and to motivate them to take an active role in the process of building of a modern European society based on tolerance, solidarity, equal chances and respect for differences.
