GRESYS brought together two French theatre companies and an Italian theatre with a common goal: to raise young people's awareness on the the UN's Agenda 2030 and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by highlighting their own ecological experiences and commitments through theatrical storytelling. The project objectives were: - To empower young people, providing them with innovative opportunities, creative tools and inclusive methodologies to improve their skills in the field of sustainability and actively engage in the issues raised by the SDGs; - To make a contribution to the dissemination, understanding and practical applications of the Agenda 2030 SDgs and other green frameworks goals among younger generations through the use of performing arts; - To increase the cooperation and educative skills of the consortium.
GRESYS answered to various needs analysed in the application stage of the project, and confirmed in the first activity (Collection of stories). Young people's needs: - Feelings of anxiety because of the general European post-pandemic context and an uncertain educational path; - Increasing green preoccupations and committments; - Needs to engage in society and actively participate as citizens in the world; - Needs to express themselves, their creative and personal skills; - Needs to stimulate their artistic potential. Partner organisations: - Needs to stimulate their artistic potential; - Needs to foster high quality practices in European cooperation and in the field of theatre and engagement with young people. Theatre, youth, green and cultural professionals: - Needs for innovative tools for artistic practice, green education, youth work; - Needs for innovative tools for the dissemination of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
