Theatre Arts as Intercultural Exchange Tools (TAIET)

International training course

This training course will bring youth workers and animators from diverse European backgrounds together to learn innovative tools for engaging youth in social action at the local level. The primary focus of the training course will be the use of theatre arts to address and prevent social exclusion and to promote intercultural dialogue. By participating in this training course, youth workers will improve their skills in theatre arts and get a deeper understanding of themes such as European citizenship, social inclusion and cultural diversity.

The activities of the training will give the possibility to the participants to share and create new practices and transfer these concepts to their work with young people in their local environment.

Objectives

• support participants to analyze within an intercultural group issues connected with cultural, social and economic exclusion;
• promote intercultural dialogue among young people;
• organize a diverse range of theater activities in an intercultural context and to share commonalities and knowledge about social discrimination and ways to fight it;
• train youth leaders to act in local and international projects and actively use cultural and social diversity within their own groups and in the wider community;
• exchange theater tools and methods for preventing all forms of inequality;
• increase participants’ skills and contribute to their personal development and learning
• promote non-formal education in the lifelong learning agenda of the participants;
• develop new partnerships at the European level;
• introduce YIA and its priorities and objectives and to increase its visibility.
