Inspire was a training programme for young and emerging theatre artists who are learning leadership skills. It brought together 30 participants in Ermoupoli, on the Greek island of Syros, to train in methods of leadership used by more experienced and older professionals from Ireland and Greece. The training used a mix of peer-learning, practical demonstrations, collaborative creation, discussion and reflection to share techniques, and to pass on elements of good practice to the 18 to 35 year old participants. We hoped that each participant will have returned to their host organization and community better equipped to lead their own workshops with children and young people in schools, youth groups and youth theatres. We also expected that they would become more active in their organizations at a managerial and administrative level. One of the priorities of the Erasmus+ programme concerns the employability of young people. The Inspire programme enhanced our participants' skills in several areas - which aimed to boost their confidence in seeking employment. It also gave them valuable experience and technical training in leadership, thus increasing their skills base. In this way, Inspire was a project of employability enhancement, supporting and encouraging its participants to promote themselves as leaders. The Inspire project built upon the fundamental principles explored in a previous project, 'Logos', which we ran as a training course in August 2019. Our combination of industry professionals and up-and-coming youth theatre workers resulted in a fantastic learning environment where knowledge and techniques were taught as well as implemented. This year we had a group that are at the point in their lives where leadership learning is invaluable. Finishing school and preparing for a stage in life full of opportunities, learning how to lead and also how to work within a group is a topic many had expressed interest in, and is something which has come to prevalence much more so than during the Logos project two years prior. As a theatre organisation, leadership is often seen through the facilitation of workshops and dramatic activities. By participating on this project, participants gained a more secure sense of their position within a group and how to approach leading a workshop or performance based activity. Acquiring knowledge about group dynamics is an integral part of growing up for teenagers and young adults. It enhances our employability as we are able to learn transferable skills in project management, group management, planning and preparation, and non- formal education. We also developed sector-specific skills like directing theatre, drama facilitation methods, and devising theatre with and within groups. The Inspire project was therefore a training programme for these individuals who wished to transition from being 'led' to 'leading' in projects using theatre methods. The training was shared between the partners, each of whom are organisations active in the field of youth theatre in Europe. It was a project coordinated by Crooked House Theatre Company in Ireland. The training focused on leadership styles; management tasks and responsibilities; effective and ineffective methods of leadership; roles and dynamics within groups; the important of planning; and establishing new boundaries for relationships. It was delivered through procedural learning – in our case this was in theatre-based activities (such as Augusto Boal’s “The Glass Cobra” exercise), practical movement, and reflective discussion.
