In the context of globalisation and increased mobility, cultural and ethnic diversity is becoming a more significant aspect of everyday life. It brings both opportunities and challenges for peaceful coexistence and interaction between different ethnic and cultural groups. The phenomenon of interethnic marriages is a significant indicator of how diverse communities accept and integrate each other. Our project aims to train youth workers capable of using theatrical techniques such as Stanislavski Theatre (psychological theatre), theatrical improvisation methods, and pantomime methods to support addressing the needs of minority youth, including migrants and refugees.
The “Cultural Awareness and Social Inclusion Through Dramatic Arts” training course, under Erasmus+ KA153-YOU, will equip 40 youth participants from 10 countries with theatre-based methods to support minority, migrant, and refugee youth. Through non-formal, participant-centred learning, they will practice techniques like Stanislavski theatre, improvisation, and pantomime to foster intercultural understanding, creativity, and inclusion.
The project includes a preparatory visit, a week-long training in Romania, and follow-up local and international youth activities. Expected outcomes are improved youth work skills, stronger intercultural cooperation, and creative tools—such as performances, videos, and policy proposals—promoting tolerance and combating discrimination.
