Our project, “Youth Workers Go to Theatre,” addresses the heightened stress and mental health issues among young people in the post-pandemic era. It redefines conflicts as growth opportunities, using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), self-awareness and drama work, including Theatre of the Oppressed and Psychodrama, to enhance youth workers' understanding and management of these issues. The project will train 30 youth workers from Armenia, Hungary, Georgia, Romania, Sweden and Ukraine to apply theatre methods, empathy, and stress regulation in the youth work context, promoting peaceful communication and the well-being of youth. The objectives of the project are threefold: 1. To enhance the conceptual understanding of youth workers in theatre practices and stress regulation within the youth work context. 2. To develop youth workers' capacities to integrate theatre approaches and stress management methods into their daily youth work. 3. To foster international cooperation on stress management and theatre practices in European youth work. By focusing on innovative, theatre-based methodologies, the project aims to equip youth workers with new skills for effective stress management and emotional support, contributing to young people's resilience and emotional intelligence. The project aligns with the Erasmus+ Programme and the EU Youth Strategy, supporting the professional development of youth workers, promoting cooperation and peer support among youth organisations, enhancing inclusion for young people in disadvantaged situations, and fostering diversity and language competencies for international collaboration.
