The European Parliament Report on the implementation of the EU Youth Policy 2018 stated that “(...) young Europeans are the first victims of the lack of investment in education and culture, the unemployment, cuts in social services. As a consequence, most of them are afraid of the future and feel sacrificed for economic interests. The numbers speak for themselves. Today, almost one out of three young persons between 18 and 24 years old is at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the European Union.” The social exclusion that these youth may face results in a lack of confidence and high unemployment rates. Especially youth that face challenges in their personal situation, e.g. geographical, educational or financial challenges, experience this. “Say it: Never This Again” (S.A.N.T.A.) presented a training course for youth workers, social workers and educators which aimed to offer a platform where to tackle the issue of youth marginalisation by exploring a number of tools and methodologies based on performative arts and personal narratives (storytelling, playback theatre and stand-up comedy). Paulo Freire said how helpless people are in effect voiceless, they lack the ability to express themselves and their world in a creative way and by choice. From this perspective, the value of expressing oneself is important, as individual empowerment is a process of personal development in a social framework - to learn to speak for oneself is to emerge from the shadow of the feeling of helplessness, being able to take initiatives and make one’s own imprint in relation to the environment and the future, and to see oneself not from a victim position. The transition from having no voice to express oneself in front of someone is both a physical and a mental change. Whereas isolation is paralysis and silence, social belonging connects with upright bearing and action. Youth organisations play a crucial role in the process of youth to express themselves and tell their story in a way that it connects with others. It is about engagement that builds inclusion with a great community. Therefore it is important for youth workers to be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to create a safe and creative environment for the youth to express and better understand their situation. A starting point to work towards empowerment. The project was designed in order to tackle the following objectives: (1) to explore the concept of "transformational storytelling", how to use storytelling as a tool for innovation to change and self-development; (2) to understand how storytelling, playback theatre and stand-up comedy skills can be used as creative methods to let youth express and address their marginalisation; (3) to increase youth workers’ readiness to act using the competences acquired during the project as well as confidence to apply them; (4) to develop an action plan for participants to engage their youth in their organisation's context as well as the regional and European level; (5) to implement the lessons learned and action plans in the partner organisations and virtually share and evaluate the activities organised.
