Project Summary

The “Theater and cultural exchanges” project revolves around the development of language skills (written and oral expressions), self-confidence and commitment. Its purpose is to introduce students to the performing arts, through the practice and study of texts, through meetings with professionals, visits to broadcasting sites, shows. This course allows students to enrich their personal culture and progress in various language skills, both intellectual and physical, individually and collectively.
Our project also aims to support young people in building their European and multiple identity. Indeed, confronting other cultures and sometimes returning to one’s own roots helps these young people to build themselves as future adults and find their place in society. This is why we imagined this intercultural project whose goal is to exchange on our practices and to build extracts common to our different shows.
These exchanges and these mobilities constitute a real motivation for all the students of the partner establishments. However, it is more difficult each year to organize trips and exchanges, because the means are lacking. And, it is often difficult to ask families for a significant financial contribution. This is why we would like to be funded in order to allow all students to meet other young people, of different nationalities, but who have a common passion : the performing arts.
The profiles of our students, aged 12 to 15, are very diverse, because we want to include all the profiles. Some students suffer from academic, social difficulties, a disability, others come from disadvantaged neighborhoods, but all unite with a passion for the performing arts.
The four mobility plans and regular exchanges via digital media will allow students to get to know each other and establish points in common with their different cultural projects, by establishment. Interculturality and European identity will be honored and valued in the various shows.
The expected concrete results are a multicultural show offered by each establishment and the communication associated with this show (posters, flyers, programs, etc.) with the aim of promoting the written and oral expressions of all the students involved in the project. In the long term, this project will facilitate exchanges between the different partner establishments, concerning other intercultural and European projects
