Objectives

Our objectives with this project are to stimulate reflection over the topic of inclusions and exclusion through storytelling. Through storytelling and exchange of ideas, participants will also reflect on how they perceive others and how they may be perceived themselves. The objectives of this project are: • To encourage critical thinking, inclusive attitudes and intercultural competences, empathizing in participants so they can act as leaders in their society and open for constructive dialogue with and among young people. • To equip youth participants with relevant puppet theatre and general storytelling tools and methodologies to stimulate youth and understanding of fundamental values of inclusion, tolerance, respect and freedom. • To increase understanding among youth participants, in regards to the issue of exclusion and inequality and how they can play role in preventing this problem. This project is a 9-day youth exchange in Garlstedt Germany which equips 42 young people from Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and Serbia with skills useful for “recounting stories” through puppet theatre with a moral and message of inclusion and as a non-formal education methodology to be used in the future outreach work in local, national and European communities. This exchange will also serve as an intercultural mechanism, self-analysis and reflection on the values of our society and means to critically lead a world into continuously becoming relative and plural.
