"DANCE FOR INCLUSION", as already stated in the project submission phase, aimed, in line with the strategic objectives of the Erasmus + programme, to fight against discrimination and social exclusion. The initiative was based on informal education: Dance became a tool to transfer a message of inclusion and anti-discrimination. The young people confronted each other using STREET DANCE and improvisation (freestyle), sometimes with challenging intentions, aimed at sharing, fun and respect. Through a residential experience and the self-managed implementation of non-formal activities. The project represented an opportunity for those living in disadvantaged rural or urban areas where there are very few learning opportunities and the supply of work is very low. In these contexts, the most disadvantaged group are young people at high risk of social exclusion. The exchange fully achieved its objectives by involving the young participants in activities of personal and professional growth. In detail, this was done by: 1) PROMOTING YOUNG PEOPLE'S PERSONAL AND SOCIAL EDUCATION, STRENGTHENING THEIR FEELING OF BEING EUROPEAN CITIZENS: The residential exchange experience in itself was a challenge for the participants, in which they had to share spaces and resources with young people from all over Europe, collaborate together in numerous non-formal education activities, discuss socially relevant topics, socialise and get to know each other better. Through the activities they deepened their knowledge of other cultures and perceived themselves as European citizens. 2) INVOLVING MARGINISED YOUNG PEOPLE WITH LESS OPPORTUNITIES: Activities mainly involved young people who live in peripheral areas and who today face situations of lack of opportunities, social fragility and marginalisation. Among the young people also involved were boys and girls in a 'stalemate' situation, i.e. long-term unemployed who have not yet managed to find a place in the labour market, the so-called 'NEETs'. In addition, many participants experienced severe discrimination and bullying and were able to recount their experiences, giving the project interventions greater depth. 3) SUPPORTING INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE AND THE VALUES OF TOLERANCE AND SOCIAL COHESION IN EUROPE USING DANCE AS A FUNCTIONAL TOOL FOR RECIPROCAL KNOWLEDGE: The participants had the opportunity during all the exchange days to reflect and address issues concerning intercultural dialogue, tolerance and social cohesion using dance and music as a moment of sharing. Dance became the medium for conveying positive messages to the community, an informal channel of communication that brought young people together and surprised the community with unprecedented choreographies, a symbol of tolerance and dialogue between different cultures. 4) ENHANCING THE ARTISTIC AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS OF THE YOUNG PARTICIPANTS THROUGH "PEER LEARNING" ACTIONS BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS: the young people had to follow a busy schedule of activities related to the artistic, dance and music fields with the aim of enhancing their professional skills and abilities through non-formal learning and sharing prior knowledge. Dance is often mistakenly considered merely a hobby for young people, instead it represents a real opportunity for employment and personal growth. In addition, the young people through the residential experience developed new artistic and social skills, shared their passions and creativity, thus enhancing their job opportunities and enabling us to achieve one of the main goals of the project. The project is being developed at a time in history characterised by strong prejudices towards all that is different such as ethnicity, disability or simply social fragility, the years of closure resulting from health emergencies have exasperated the dynamics. Rampant hatred has taken shape both on a large scale, turning into episodes of xenophobia, racism and violence, and on a small scale, giving rise to bullying and discrimination. The dynamics of the web have exacerbated the situation and the public debate has moved from elective assemblies to social pages triggering insults, racism and xenophobia. It is very serious that every day in EU countries someone is prevented from taking an active part in society at large because of prejudice and discrimination. The assumption underlying the project is that everyone, and in particular young people, should contribute, with small or large initiatives, to breaking down the obstacles these people face, and education appears to be the most appropriate tool to fight harassment and build inclusive societies.
