Human trafficking, as a form of human exploitation, stands as one of the gravest violations of civil liberties. Through our project, we aimed to support victims and help them feel accepted, ensuring they understood that they were heard, thereby providing sustainable assistance and support. Each year, an estimated two million young people worldwide fall victim to human trafficking. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), girls and young people, particularly under the age of 18, from Balkan and Eastern European countries made up 10-15% of the trafficking victims who were helped to return home. In this project, we successfully linked themes of violence, stereotypes, prejudice, marginalization, and human trafficking. The initiative provided young people with an opportunity to explore the various causes and forms of human trafficking, emphasizing that social exclusion often leads to trafficking, with victims frequently coming from marginalized or discriminated communities due to prejudice or stereotyping. The project revealed that young victims of trafficking perceive their reality differently from their peers. A key priority was to offer access and support to disadvantaged youth who were at risk of social exclusion compared to others their age, often due to complex social factors. Using non-formal education methods, we combined drama, theater, and performance art to portray the stories of trafficking victims—from the initial stages of exploitation through to their re-socialization. These creative and educational methods aligned our project with the themes of the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission, as the project actively encouraged young people to be engaged citizens at both the local and European levels, while promoting the value of cultural diversity. Participants from different cultural and national backgrounds worked together, which helped them see individuals beyond their ethnicity, nationality, or religion, and instead as human beings. The main goal of the youth exchange was to give young participants, particularly those working with vulnerable and socially excluded groups, the knowledge and tools to understand human trafficking and violence. The exchange focused on exploring how violence perpetuates human trafficking. The activities were based on non-formal learning, including theoretical lectures, presentations, team discussions, mixed-group work, role plays, and the use of artistic methods. Participants collaborated to plan and prepare short theater performances aimed at preventing and combating prejudice against trafficking victims. Through these activities, they developed a greater sense of tolerance and appreciation for diversity. Using a combination of video, theater, and live performances, we were able to tell the stories of trafficking victims from their initial exploitation to their eventual re-socialization. Participants also shared ways to assist victims in their inclusion into civic life, strengthening their sense of belonging within their communities. This project fostered collective efforts to combat human trafficking and taught participants how to support victims, working towards their full integration into society. The project successfully brought together youth from five different countries to use creative arts and media as tools for building cultural harmony, celebrating diversity, and promoting inclusion. Through partnership working, organizations from various sectors collaborated to strengthen community participation, foster active citizenship, and build social capital. The project’s aims, objectives, and priorities aligned with the Erasmus+ programme as follows: Raising awareness among participants from partner countries and enhancing their capacity to use non-formal education methods, including video, drama, theater, and performance art as tools. Promoting cultural diversity and combating human trafficking, violence, prejudice, and marginalization. Utilizing new tools and exploring innovative approaches to address poverty and social exclusion. Encouraging young people to understand the importance of the project’s theme by involving them in creative processes like drama and theater. Developing skills for promoting and launching high-quality projects within the Erasmus+ framework. Contributing to the high-quality implementation of Erasmus+ programme projects. Raising young people's awareness of the risks associated with human trafficking, particularly among vulnerable groups, and working to combat it. Strengthening existing international partnerships and establishing new ones to foster future Erasmus+ programme projects.
