PROJEKT-IL (Germany), ECHODRAMA Cultural Group (Greece) and Association Compagnie NOURA (France) decided to carry out the "Cultural Integration Through Performing Arts Activities" (CITPA) project, whose main aim is to equip performing arts teachers (some of them being immigrants and refugees themselves) with competences and methods so as to address the needs of marginalised youth, including immigrants and refugees, and facilitate their cultural integration in the European environment. The main needs that this project is seeking to address are: - the need for the cultural integration of marginalised youth, - the need for the prevention of violent radicalisation of youth through the promotion of diversity and intercultural dialogue, - the need to increase the capacities of the participants in education, training and immigrant and refugee issues, thus enabling them to offer activities which better respond to the immigrants’ and refugees’ needs. The specific objectives of this project are: 1. to enhance the capacity of organisations and youth workers (performing arts teachers, some of them being immigrants and refugees themselves) in their support for young marginalised people, including immigrants and refugees; 2. to help young marginalised people to socialise and express themselves without necessarily speaking immediately the host country language, through performing arts activities; 3. to improve the skills of participants as far as integration issues are concerned, using as an example the good practice of the local community of Skiathos; 4. to improve the level of key competences and skills of the participants in order to be able to transfer and promote the common values of freedom, respect of human rights and critical thinking to young marginalised people and prevent their violent radicalization; 5. to improve the quality of non-formal teaching in youth work, enhancing peer learning and cooperation between organisations in the youth field; 6. to improve the capacities of the participants in teaching performing arts to marginalised youth, incorporating elements of other cultures (including elements of the refugees’ and immigrants’ cultures) in European culture; 7. to foster an intercultural dialogue that intends to be an inspiration for learning about diversity issues; 8. to facilitate the integration of young immigrants and refugees in Europe using the experience of those youth workers who are themselves immigrants and refugees.
