Project Summary

• To conduct a period of research on current practice and needs in relation to education on equality, inclusion and anti racism each partner country

• To develop a Training for Trainers curriculum that provides training for adult education facilitators in how to use drama and theatre to promote equality, inclusion and anti-racism.

• To develop a Toolbox of Resources to accompany the ‘Training for Trainers’ curriculum including research on equality, inclusion and anti-racism and videos of the training

• To establish a web portal to host the Toolbox of Resources including an online ‘forum’ for educators and the videos demonstrating training exercises

• To make a copy of the Toolbox of Resources on DVD for Distribution

• The final curriculum will be presented in written and video format. Sections of training from the curriculum will be presented and demonstrated on video by each project partner. Each project partner is allocated a specific number of games and exercises from the curriculum that they will show on video in order to demonstrate how the exercises are implemented and the videos will form part of the Toolbox of Resources.

• The curriculum will be developed collaboratively by all project partners. An initial curriculum will be developed and then project partners will ‘pilot test’ sections of the training within their own countries and then come together to review and further develop the curriculum incorporating feedback from participants who took part in the ‘pilot testing’ of the curriculum. A total of 75 participants will be trained during the pilot testing.

• There will be ongoing development of the curriculum; the Toolbox of Resources and Final Videos throughout the lifetime of the project

• Final outputs include a full Curriculum with accompanying Toolbox of Resources and Video demonstrations providing information for training adult education trainings on how to use drama and theatre techniques to promote equality, inclusion and anti-racism work
