Project Summary

The project Initiative – Inclusion – Interaction, Contemporary Theatre for Active Youth is directed towards strengthening of youth through active doing, engagement and exchange using theatre as a powerful tool in social work.The project was prepared on the basis of good results of the previous Erasmus+ co-funded project which was undertook by almost all consortium members in 2017 and 2018 titled Theatre – Encounter, Inclusion, Action. New project is a step further into deeper work with young people including youth with fewer opportunities with impacts on local, national and international levels.The project aims at:1. Raising sense of initiative, engagement and development of active role in society among young people; 2. Contribution to the inclusion of three groups of youth with fewer opportunities – young deaf and hard of hearing youth, young migrants/asylum seekers and young inmates and sensitising of the majority of population for the needs of those groups;3. Strengthening capacities of organisations which apply theatrical techniques in the work with the youth.The project is in concordance with Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, as well as with EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 in areas of social inclusion, participation in civil society, education and training and creativity and culture.
