DESCRIPTION:

The project promotes inclusion and resilience through shared experiences among young people from diverse backgrounds, including migrants, refugees, disabled people and those facing social disadvantage.

Participants explore stereotypes, differences and commonalities, fostering empathy and active citizenship.

A central activity involves co-creating a self managed community for one week.

This immersive experience encourages responsibility, collaboration and personal growth.

The aim is to learn by doing, embracing diversity and discovering individual talents by living and experiencing several tools such as: theatrical game-exercises taken from the arsenal of the oppressed (Theatre of the Oppressed), imaging workshops, manual and kitchen workshops and a songwriting process.
