"The DAN.THE. project generated from the results obtained with the ""Dance acCEssibility and Inclusion - DAN.CE IN"" project carried out by the lead partner Iijshaamanka in 2018 as part of the ERASMUS+ SPORT - Small Collaborative Partnerships together with ""The Garage (UK)"" , also present in this project proposal, and to ""Ruedapies"" association (FR). The challenge of offering opportunities for social inclusion to disabled youngsters through the practice of inclusive dance has fully achieved its goal, allowing participants to live significant experiences by breaking down the barriers between the disabled and the gifted, using movement and dance and allowing the creative and artistic act to take shape in bodies ""perfect in their own imperfection"". The social impact that this path has had on the direct beneficiaries led the involved organisation to reflect on the importance of recognizing these paths and professionals who conduct these processes. For this reason, the challenge that the DAN.CE IN partners wanted to accept with the DAN.THE project is to create a network that increases the skills of the professional figure of the theater / dance operator aimed at social inclusion, providing him with the theoretical and practical bases to work with other methodologies and other target groups of young people.The DAN.THE. project will involve, for 24 months, four organizations from Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom, which have produced a shared and in-depth needs analysis, analyzing:1) Their organizations (evaluating own structure, development dynamics, skills in the organization chart).2) Their youth workers (evaluating their current methodological knowledge, aptitude, motivation)3) Their current and potential young beneficiaries (evaluating the impact of their operations on young people)In response to the identified needs, the Specific Objectives of the project were stated:SO1. Increase the organizational skills of the proposing associations in terms of their ability to act on the basis of ideas and opportunities and transform them into opportunities for social inclusion, in terms of project planning and management, and capacity for transnational cooperation.SO2.
