Youth takes the Stage: Campaigning for Citizenship

Description

‘Youth takes the Stage: Campaigning for Citizenship’ is an Erasmus+ (Mobility of youth workers) project aimed at developing youth workers’ competences in promoting active citizenship through youth-led campaigns using theatre methods. This project was submitted in February 2016 and received excellent scoring (84 points) but was placed on a reserve list due to lack of funding. We have now further improved it and resubmitting for October 2016 deadline. The project is composed of a series of three eight-day training courses to be held in three European regions: Eastern Europe (Tbilisi, Georgia, March 2017), South-East Europe (Tirana, Albania, May 2017) and the EU (Stroud, United Kingdom, July 2017). The main themes of the project are youth campaigning, active citizenship, creativity and theatre.Throughout all three courses, a non-formal education, participatory learning approach will be used, following principles of acting and being an active citizen, respecting individual knowledge and skills, enabling participants to co-facilitate the learning process, sharing creative ideas and information, using art and theatre to promote active European citizenship.The courses will be run by GTC’s expert team of theatre and youth work professionals and local experts from the UK, Georgia and Albania. All courses will also include site visits to local youth and cultural organisations. The project’s context/and origin are connected with GTC’s involvement in three regions: EU, South-East European countries and Eastern European and Caucasus Countries. We regularly implement projects on art and theatre in youth work in all three regions. Through this project, we would also like to raise awareness of active European citizenship issues among young people. Project will bring together 96 participants across three courses (32 per course). The objectives of the project are:- To train youth workers and youth leaders in using theatre tools and methods in promoting active citizenship through youth campaigning - To develop leadership and facilitation skills of youth workers- To exchange experience and good practice in active citizenship and youth campaigning tools and methods- To develop youth workers’ creativity and artistic skills- To increase the quality of European co-operation between youth organisations both within the Erasmus+ Programme as well as outside of itThis is a long-term, multi-measure project stretched over a year, and as such it will have a long-term impact on all partners in terms of increased capacity to work with theatre tools and to organise youth-led campaigns. It will also increase learners’ understanding of the Erasmus+/Youth Programme and lead to more international co-operation.
