Project Summary

Facing the ever-bigger tides of clandestine immigration, which jeopardizes thousands of people, especially young people. The European countries increase their actions to regulate the migration and try also to restrict the numbers of traffickers who make money by endangering the hopeless immigrants. Many of them are confined in some retention centers where their basic human rights are not respected.As far as the Maghreb countries are concerned, they have launched many actions to make the youth aware of the dangers caused by the clandestine immigration. However, these efforts cannot be successful without an efficient cooperation from the countries of the “Euromed zone”. The organizations who work with youth take an important part in raising young people’s awareness about the dangers implied, and should enhance their hopes, so that they latter can play an active role within their community.In this context, we want to implement a project in partnership with NGO from Italy, France, Tunisia, Morocco, Greece and Algeria. Our aim is to struggle against the clandestine immigration and inform the youth about causes and consequences, by means of theatrical practice, which is valuable as a tool of promoting and defending the human rights. The beneficiaries of the project will share their experiences and good practices, apply innovative methods of non-formal education, centered on the theater, and get actively involved in the struggle of the local communities against this humanitarian and social problem. Our project consists of the following activities:1- 2-days initial gathering in Morocco, to specify the methods to be applied and the roles of every partner.2- A research/survey about youth immigration (causes, consequences, local realities in the partner countries).3-10-days training course in Greece for 24 educators and young leaders, to develop knowledge and competences about the dangers of clandestine immigration and the potency of the theatrical initiatives as a way to promote young people’s education, social inclusion and well being in their countries.4- Caring theater workshops which aim to raise youth awareness about this topic within the concerned communities.5- 10-days youth exchange in Tunisia involving 42 young people from the beneficiaries of the local theater workshops, to exchange their good practices in the theater field for inclusion with respect to the immigration.6- The creation of a pedagogical tool which propose some educational and non formal activities for inclusion and thru theatrical practices.7- Caring local event to disseminate the results of our project and raise the public’s awareness about the danger of the clandestine immigration (workshops, video shooting, round-table discussions, etc.) by each partner. This event will be managed by the trained educators and youth involved.8- 2-days evaluation meeting in Tunisia, where the partners will assess the project and make a plan to ensure the sustainability.
