<< Objectives >>Poverty, social exclusion and inequalities in society have been shown to to contribute to poor mental health. The project will strive for the well-being and mental health of migrants, in two interrelated ways. By providing inclusive spaces in both Ljubljana and Budapest and by developing pilot bibliotherapy reading groups.<< Implementation >>As part of the project activities, we will pay the most attention to strengthening the capacity of organizations for inclusion and integration. Besides, we will be exposing linkages and interdependencies between mental health and social inclusion. Internal research (desk research) and a case study will contribute to this. Training on bibliotherapy will be developed within the project.<< Results >>Project activities will lead to a variety of results, starting with strategic documents for partner organizations. During the project, we will also develop training on bibliotherapy and conduct a pilot bibliotherapy reading group with accompanying guidelines for implementation. The results of “desk research” and a case study, which is also one of the key project results, will support activities already mentioned.

<< Objectives >>The main goal of the project is to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes based on critical thinking, ethical communication, media literacy and intercultural awareness among young people. Thus, we will be committed to developing tools for acquiring such competencies and skills of youth, which will strive to break stereotypes about North-South relations, neo-colonialist principles of action, in accordance with global solidarity and intercultural understanding and respect for different cultures.<< Implementation >>Technical and content upgrade of the online platform E-tick. Following this, creation of handbook that will be a support tool for our e-course, equipping educators to ask the right questions and know how to lead discussion groups on E-tick themes. Based on this we will host E-tick clubs within which our e-course users will be able to meet regularly and discuss the content of our modules. We will also create a training manual for teachers and trainers based on e-course for in-person.<< Results >>- updated and upgraded existing online platform E-tick- support activities and tools for addressing platform topics (E-tick clubs)- ethical communication and global learning workshops for teachers- ethical communication and global learning workshops for coaches and camp leaders- manual for the implementation of support activities to address the topics of the platform and workshops of ethical communication and global learning for teachers, trainers and camp leaders

Due to the multipying effect of the project, the general public will also be reached, the peers of the students involved, their parents, relatives. With the awareness campaign of the young Voices of Ambasadors of the Future we want to reach 10,000 more people. Young people will raise awareness, disseminate information about climate change, socially and politically activate.

Nowadays the realization of youths about the influence which they have on social change is in decline. That is why it is crucial to ensure the youths several different channels which will enable them greater and more active participation in society. One of these unused channels is the street and that's exactly the channel we have been researching throughout this project. Sensibiliz´Action, Officine Cittadine, Humanitas and Lojtra have linked together different previous know-how from the fields of non-formal education, global education and street methods and developed a new and innovative approach GEAgora. This approach enables us to raise awareness about global topics throughout the streets where trained multiplicators animate passersby and create a space for meeting, exchange and activation. Through the organization of two job shadowings, more than thirty street actions, publishing of a newspaper, setting up of an online platform (www.geagora.eu), which represent new methods and events, organization of a multiplicator event, observation and support of the followers of the online platform as well as the visitors of the street actions and a series of other disseminative activities we have addressed the so called invisible youths and pulled them into the field of responsible global citizenship. The used methodology was participatory and originates from the global education approach and methods from the streets (storytelling, public debate, interactive games, simulation games). We have inspired other local and national organizations to use this newly developed approach. A special publication of our newspaper has pointed the political decision makers to our work and the work of youths, as have our multiplicator event and several advocacy meetings. The included participants are now more critically informed, active citizens. With this project we have contributed to empowering youths, to mobilization of youths from the bottom and to better participation of youths on the streets and beyond.The participating youths have increased their global learning competences (aspiration for global fairness, equality, understanding of the global co-dependence, sustainable way of living, respect for diversity, critical thinking, cooperation). They learned about the opportunities and possibilities for further self activation and mediation of their own opinions.The performance of the organizations has increased, as has their recognition and quality of work. Furthermore the international integration of the organizations has increased, since we have carried out and planned further partnership projects.The online platform, developed throughout the project now represents a source of knowledge from the field of GEAgora and is disseminated internationally, which enables an even broader application and recognition of the approach. The project has been awarded recognition by the Global Education Network Europe as one of 20 most innovative projects from the field of global education in 2018 and is featured in the GENE brochure: https://gene.eu/wp-content/uploads/GENE_2018_Award.pdf

We at Theatre as Inclusive Practice believe that the power of creativity, theatre and unity would trigger changes in mindsets and societies faster than politics. Reports show that a vast majority of young people in the EU are at risk of being socially excluded, hardship among marginalised groups and communities are higher after the global pandemic, and it is the younger generations that are worst affected in terms of isolation and loneliness during the lockdown periods of 2020 and thus cannot actively participate in society. Theatre and arts can be used to engage communities facing exclusion, so our main focus is to conduct a training programme using strategies and techniques of participatory theatre to explore and develop social inclusion with young people from three different partner countries. By promoting quality, innovation and recognition of youth work, we will address the main target groups of the project facing social exclusion due to sexuality, race, ability, low income, nationality, etc.. Two target groups were identified - young workshop leaders who will be trained to support young people (a minimum of 20 in the four partner regions) and the young workshop participants at risk of exclusion or experiencing various difficulties due to forms of exclusion, attending regular theatre workshop sessions (a minimum of 32 in the four partner regions). In addition to the face-to-face reach out in schools and youth centres, we estimate that we will reach a minimum of 1000 young people with the online activities and more than 400 representatives of the interested third parties involved as local community and audience of theatre work. We know that our participants will increase their self-confidence and fortify their self-image based on the new skills they have acquired and the products they have created within transnational teams. The impact for the wider audience - young people in general, other youth at risk of exclusion, theatre experts and directors and others - will be a cultural experiences, inclusion, acceptance, empathy and shared understandings.We plan to achieve the aforementioned outcomes through the development of a ‘Training Trainers’ course for using applied theatre techniques for social inclusion - freely available for use. It will consist of tested methodology from the sphere of applied theatre (forum theatre, verbatim theatre, design theatre, participatory theatre, theatre of the senses, etc.) together with guidelines as to how it can be delivered offline and online. Project activities involve regular local workshops with young participants – both workshop leaders and young people at risk of exclusion.The main result of the project is the Training Trainers’ course containing a variety of theatrical methods and approaches, with integrated guidelines on how this course can be delivered online. The project consortium will also develop and provide the Drama and inclusion resource pack which is directed towards a more general audience, bringing them closer to the topic of inclusion, to the reasons behind exclusion and how we can challenge ourselves to be more inclusive. This collection of audio-visual cultural materials such as performances and the process behind their creation - showing the theatre practice in action, created by the young people involved in the project on the topic of social inclusion.Our objective is to involve as young workshop leaders people who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing social exclusion, and will be trained and upskilled to become trainers themselves. As far as the young people at risk of exclusion are concerned we aim at achieving at least 80% improved confidence and inclusion, based on their feedback and self-assessment.TIP will also position the partners on a national and international level as providers of innovative solutions for youth inclusion via cultural and creative activities. What we envisage as a result of this experience for the young participants are increased opportunities for social inclusion; increased ownership of cultural capital (by using theatre to address issues of societal importance) and increased confidence of social capital (through creating new transnational links with similar age groups). There is also the accessible online nature of the project for both participants and all those interested in the subject, which will turn them into resilient cultural operators in the face of challenges the uncertain future holds for our societies.We cannot predict the future. We cannot foresee what the world and these young people are about to face. But, in the words of Sir Ken Robinson, “all you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish.”
