The origin of our project started from a study conducted by the the University College London. Through the first ever neuroimaging study on a radicalised population, trhey noticed that: ”extreme behaviours seemed to intensify after social exclusion.” (The Guardian). We also loked at statistics from 2017, showing that within the young Europeans aged 16-29: - 28% was at risk of poverty or social exclusion (corresponding to 21.8 millions); - Over 80% attended at least one cultural activity per year, mostly live performances: concerts, exhibitions etc. (Eurostat) We realised the potential scale of youth Extremism and Radicalisation in Europe, and noticed that the power of cultural activities can be used to approach the most vulnerable youth to: - Obtain information on their social background; - Assess their tendancy to lean towards extremism and radicalisation; - Guide them towards alternative behaviors and facilitate their rehabilitation/reintegration, through tailor-made, positive forms of expression. Our experineced showed us that theatre is one of the most flexible tools in cultural expression and non-formal education. Our project aimed to enable youth workers to make an effective use of it, in order to limit the growth of socially inactive young people and NEETS within the communities and prevent extremist groups and parties to reach those inactive youngsters. Our project focused on the Balkan region, a culturally fragmented region facing specific issues related to the theme of our project. The main objective was to equip participants with the competences, to use theatre, as a tool to limit the inactivity and polarisation of young people at risk of social exclusion, to improve the quality of youth work and of non-formal-education while promoting European values.
