Objectives

The project aimed to support youth workers in harnessing the power of storytelling and Theatre of the Oppressed Techniques to engage and empower the individuals, groups and communities they work with as active global citizens. There were six key objectives: - To explore the power of storytelling and Theatre of the Oppressed Techniques and their application to non-formal education - To use storytelling and theatre techniques to explore global issues such as climate change, poverty, inequality, migration and gender inequality - To equip youth workers with the knowledge, skills, values and empathy essential to active citizenship - To examine the use of storytelling in society, with emphasis on power dynamics and media literacy - To foster a collaborative and dynamic network of youth workers skilled in participatory and creative methodologies for youth engagement on global issues - To create a toolkit of storytelling and theatre techniques for global issues Ultimately, we wanted our participants to become multipliers in their contexts, empowered with a range of competencies and skills, inspiring and supporting the young people they work with to become active global citizens equipped with the knowledge, skills, values, and empathy needed to address the pressing challenges of our time.
