ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Youth Exchange will be based on non-formal education. Experienced trainers’ team will facilitate the learning process of participants. Its methodology will be learner – centred. It will consist of theoretical elements about Erasmus+, theory about theatre and drama methodology, practical elements of equipping youth workers in theatre tools to work with minorities and empower them, elements of experience and practice-sharing, elements aiming at reflection on gained competences, developing new theatre methodologies to work with minority youth. Participants will practice the methodology of Stanislavsky Theatre (psychological theatre), improvisation theatre methods and pantomime methods.
AIM OF THE PROJECT
The overall aim of the Youth Exchange is to response to the rise of racism in the EU (populism, migrant crisis) and the needs of young people in our organisations, as well as in relation to the experience of partners in using intercultural learning tools such as music, dance, and other forms of art in youth work.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
- To use drama tools for breaking the ice, teambuilding, developing communication skills, physical warm-up, group dynamics and encouraging creativity in order to empower and support the expression of young people with minority, refugees and migrants background.
- To brainstorm on problems which the youth workers who participate in the project face in their daily work with youth from minority, refugees and migrants background.
- To motivate others through own examples of successful stories.
PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Methodology of the project is based on an intercultural approach and non-formal education. We have foreseen a dedicated workshop (theory and practice) on music as non-formal educational method to make them understand how this tool can be used for intercultural dialogue.
General methodology will reflect different learning styles/needs. Methodology that we will use will lead to equal and active participation of all participants. We will aim to create a safe environment for learning and the flow and counter flow from the individual needs to the group needs to the topic to the individual and so on. To increase active participation of young people during the planned activities will be used different exercises combination of individual and team work, learner-centred ways, theoretical inputs and exercises.
