DESCRIPTION:

The theme of the project is social inclusion, fight against discrimination and the importance of human rights. The objective of the training course is to provide new tools to the social workers, educators and active citizens who work with children, youngsters and adults victims of war and/or situations of extreme social exclusion such as those caused by migration processes.

The training therefore aims to:

• Explore the cultural differences and explore how different Countries have addressed issues of immigration and emigration.

• Analyse how gender can affect group dynamics and leadership and, therefore, how it can contribute to exclusion, with particular attention to the double discrimination of immigrant women.

• The dynamics of power as people exercise power over others: how it is used consciously and unconsciously in the group and everyday life;

We propose an interactive methodology using the tools promoted by non-formal education. The workshops are based on the active methodologies proposed by theatre (Theatre of the oppressed), collective storytelling and songwriting, photo/video workshops…

We believe that all these tools are powerful in order to promote intercultural dialogue, to share experiences and good practices, to analyse conflicts and address them in a non-violent way.

At the end of each step we produce:

• the realization of an open final performance

• the writing and recording of a song

• a docu-video about our story together.
