The seminar DART - Discussion Through Art will be a weeklong encounter that will bring together youth work professionals based in performing arts in order to share new ideas for workshops using theatre as the means of creating an open space for young people to discuss the issues that they face today. There are various goals to this seminar, the most important being to create a handbook of workshops that can be used to train other youth workers on how to use these theatre activities with their young people and to learn new activities that we can use with our own young people in local activities and in future youth exchanges. We want to promote theatre as non-formal education by giving good quality training to youth workers in using theatre to discuss the difficult issues that young people face today. The objective of this project is to not only create a handbook of workshops with research on the topics such as environmental issues, early school dropout rates, racism etc. We also plan to give high quality training to inexperienced youth workers on how exactly this method can and should be used and how each workshop can be adapted to suit the participants that you have. The training course that will follow DART, will be to bring together completely other theatre organizations with the hope of sharing these good practices in depth with our other partners.
