Project methodology:
The focus of the project is combating poverty and social exclusion using forum theatre tools. One of the main methods that we will use to explore themes of the Exchange is forum theatre. Theatre gives people a means to be someone else and thus escape their own world for a while ; finding, at times, creative solutions for their own problems by being, for a moment, in someone else’s shoes. Especially those active forms of theatre which do not require much learning of lines by heart, improvisational theatre. Forum Theatre is an interactive form of theatre that encourages audience interaction and explores different options for dealing with a problem or issue. Through Forum Theatre we will give chance to youngsters to raise their own awareness about the problems and the benefits which can result from diversity in a different society. Forum theatre can provide a voice for people who normally struggle to be heard.
Area of working
Progress in an organization working on the empowerment of youngsters, to help them be active part of the civic society and the community they live in, to represent the voice of the new generation as potential of tomorrow. We are an all inclusive organization and we offer youngsters possibilities to integrate for a future as European citizens.
