Throughout the 8-day training course, participants will explore how theatre and cinema can be meaningfully integrated into youth work as tools to:<br>\u2022 create safe and inclusive learning spaces for young people,<br>\u2022 encourage self-expression, emotional awareness, and confidence,<br>\u2022 support youth participation and active citizenship,<br>\u2022 address sensitive topics and lived realities in rural communities,<br>\u2022 amplify young people\u2019s voices through storytelling and visual narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme is strongly based on experiential learning, combining practical artistic exercises, non-formal education methods, group reflection, and peer learning. Participants will not be trained as actors or filmmakers, but as youth workers and facilitators who can adapt theatre and film methods to low-resource rural settings and use them intentionally to respond to the needs of young people in their communities. A strong emphasis is placed on reflection, ethical facilitation, inclusion, and the transfer of learning into participants\u2019 local youth work practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training course will take place in \u0218imon, Bran (Bra\u0219ov County), Romania, between 24 February and 5 March 2026 (24 February \u2013 arrival day, 5 March \u2013 departure day). It is organised within the project \u201cFrom Rural to Plural 3.0\u201d, reference no. 2025-1-RO01-KA151-YOU-000300668, and implemented under the framework of the Active Development Association\u2019s Erasmus+ Accreditation for mobilities in the field of youth, Accreditation no. 2022-1-RO01-KA150-YOU-000110433. The project is funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PROJECT OBJECTIVES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall aim of <strong>\u201cACTING FOR CHANGE: Theatre and film as tools for rural youth work\u201d<\/strong> is to strengthen the competences of youth workers to intentionally use theatre and film methods in their daily youth work practice, to foster participation, inclusion, self-expression, and community engagement among young people living in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this training course, we aim to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increase youth workers\u2019 understanding of theatre and film as non-formal education tools, and their relevance for youth work in rural contexts, beyond artistic performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equip participants with practical, accessible theatre and cinema methods that can be adapted to low-resource rural settings and different groups of young people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen youth workers\u2019 facilitation skills, with a focus on creating safe, inclusive, and participatory learning environments through creative processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support youth workers in addressing sensitive topics (such as identity, emotions, belonging, and social challenges) using indirect, ethical, and youth-friendly artistic approaches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance participants\u2019 ability to encourage youth participation and active citizenship by using storytelling and visual narratives to amplify young people\u2019s voices at the local level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop participants\u2019 awareness of group dynamics, power relations, and inclusion, and how theatre and film methods can be used to reduce barriers to participation for young people in rural communities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foster peer learning and exchange of practices between youth workers from different countries, building a shared understanding of rural youth work challenges and solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support the transfer of learning into local practice by guiding participants to reflect on their role as facilitators and develop concrete follow-up actions to be implemented in their communities after the training.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARTICIPANT PROFILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The training course is designed for youth workers and other professionals actively involved in the youth sector, particularly those working with young people from rural areas.
