From a youth perspective, social inclusion is the process of an individual's self-realization within a society, acceptance and recognition of one's potential by social institutions, and integration (through study, employment, volunteer work or other forms of participation) in the web of social relations in a community. In present-day European societies, the concept is relevant to all young people as youth is the life stage when young people make the transition from family dependence to autonomy within the larger society under rapidly evolving circumstances. It has a particular meaning to those young people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds and live in precarious conditions. Social inclusion involves breaking various barriers before acquiring their social rights as full members of society. Young people were the demographic group that was affected the most in COVID-19 aftermath – more likely to experience job loss, financial insecurity and mental health problems, most likely working part-time, temporary jobs, most suspected to unemployment and therefore housing insecurity (17% in spring 2021), having no savings (39%)(Eurofound (2021), Impact of COVID-19 on young people in the EU, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg.) Unless young people can participate actively in education and the labor market there is a high risk of their long-term disengagement with serious implications for their and society’s future. Based on all this we saw a strong need to facilitate the complicated and multifactorial social inclusion process as well as promote active - citizenship. We saw the potential of theatre methods in order to do so, particularly, improvisation theatre. This youth exchange provides young people with the important key competencies, skills and understanding of improvisation theatre as a tool for personal development and a method for the promotion of inclusion. Improvisational theatre served as a tool to develop important skills, behaviors, competencies and attitudes essential for inclusion. The aim of the exchange was to raise the participation and involvement of young people in social processes and change, to support the inclusion of marginalized groups in the local communities through the methods of improvisational theatre. The specific objectives of the youth exchange were: - to identify the potential of the tools and methods used in improvisational theatre to develop personal competencies and skills in order to promote social inclusion and active participation - To introduce innovative methodologies in the youth work field; - To raise the capacity of partner organizations to operate at European level and in international mobility projects; - To increase the quality of the youth organization projects; - To develop and improve skills in non-formal education in general, and in particular in improvisational theatre methods - To develop a network of improvisational theatre multipliers in various regions of Europe; - To increase the level of active participation of the local communities and different target groups of each partner
