DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:
“ABC” is a uniquely designed training aimed at improving social inclusion and bringing change to local communities through the development of creativity fluency, social competences in theatre and improvisation, collaboration and creation of new projects. The first step for a change, improvement or innovation is always creativity, creative ideas and thoughts. We become creative when we are in need, and right now European society is in need of inclusive activities and methods for working with different groups of people due to the drastic changes in demographics, increased migration and population transition. Therefore, our goal is to define and share the peculiarities of youth work in the participating countries, to design follow-up local projects aimed at improving social inclusion and community development through combination of NFE activities that will involve creative thinking tools and problem-solving methods along with improvisation theatre and games.
For 7 days, 39 youth workers will deeply dive into the topic, playing, discovering and assimilating our working methods suitable for small and large groups. The goal of this activity is to boost your creativity, develop your competences and skills of creative thinking and problem-solving, to equip you with relevant methods and tools in order to create and design follow-up local projects aimed at improving social inclusion and community development in your countries. The learning by doing approach ensures many interactive activities, such as role-plays, simulations, improvisation theatre techniques and sharing best practices. We will have long debrief sessions on all the elements of each method, ensuring a detailed understanding for all participants.
