ABOUT THE PROJECT
In the context of globalisation and increased mobility, cultural and ethnic diversity is becoming a more significant aspect of everyday life. It brings both opportunities and challenges for peaceful coexistence and interaction between different ethnic and cultural groups. The phenomenon of interethnic marriages is a significant indicator of how diverse communities accept and integrate each other. Our project aims to train youth workers capable of using theatrical techniques such as Stanislavski Theatre (psychological theatre), theatrical improvisation methods, and pantomime methods to support addressing the needs of minority youth, including migrants and refugees.
The “Cultural Awareness and Social Inclusion Through Dramatic Arts” training course, under Erasmus+ KA153-YOU, will equip 40 youth participants from 10 countries with theatre-based methods to support minority, migrant, and refugee youth. Through non-formal, participant-centred learning, they will practice techniques like Stanislavski theatre, improvisation, and pantomime to foster intercultural understanding, creativity, and inclusion.
The project includes a preparatory visit, a week-long training in Romania, and follow-up local and international youth activities. Expected outcomes are improved youth work skills, stronger intercultural cooperation, and creative tools—such as performances, videos, and policy proposals—promoting tolerance and combating discrimination.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
- Increase the capacity of 40 youth workers to effectively address the needs of young people from minorities, including migrants and refugees.
- Development and implementation of new innovative methods of working with minorities, with a special focus on theatrical techniques.

- Improving the intercultural competences of the 40 youth workers to facilitate the integration and support of young people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

- Using drama tools to break the ice, for team building, developing communication skills, physical warm-up, group dynamics, and encouraging creativity in order to support the expression and empowerment of young people from minorities, refugees, and migrants.
- Brainstorming to identify the problems faced by youth workers participating in the project in their daily work with young people from minorities, refugees, and migrants.
- Motivating others through their own examples of success stories in working with young people.
- Deepening the understanding of cultural differences and institutional racism.
