With this project, we aim to strengthen youth work practice by introducing contemporary dance as an innovative non-formal educational tool for engaging vulnerable young people and fighting against discrimination in small rural communities. According to reports from Youth Partnership, young people in rural communities—especially those from vulnerable groups such as NEET youth, migrants or those experiencing social and economic exclusion—do not always feel reached or supported by traditional youth work approaches because of the lack of opportunities or geographical division. Through this project, we want to equip youth workers with creative competences and methodologies that allow them to bridge these gaps and respond to the needs of these groups in more accessible and inspiring ways. The overall ambition is to make youth work more inclusive, innovative, and participatory by integrating artistic and movement-based practices no matter where young people are and who they are. Contemporary dance offers unique opportunities for expression without the need for words, which makes it highly effective in multicultural, diverse, or vulnerable contexts. We want to achieve a stronger connection between youth workers and young people, enabling rural young people to express themselves, develop confidence, and build resilience through creative processes for fighting discrimination which is based not only on geographical (as mentioned above) but on other differences. At the same time, youth workers will enhance their own professional capacity, creativity, and recognition of non-formal education practices in public spaces and in communities which are distanced. Specific objectives from the perspective of youth work practice are: 1. To enhance the competences of youth workers in using contemporary dance as a non-formal educational tool. This means developing practical skills (movement facilitation, performance design), knowledge (understanding inclusion through art), and attitudes (open-mindedness, creativity, empathy) that are directly applicable in everyday youth work. 2. To empower youth workers to support vulnerable young people from rural communities more effectively, by providing them with tools to address issues such as low self-esteem, social exclusion, or lack of participation. By integrating dance, youth workers will be able to offer safe spaces where young people can engage on equal terms, regardless of their background, language, or abilities. 3. To promote social inclusion and diversity in youth work practice, by using dance as a method to foster dialogue, reduce prejudice, and build intercultural understanding. Youth workers will learn to design inclusive activities that respond to the realities of diverse youth groups in their communities. 4. To strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation in youth work, by connecting youth workers with cultural organizations, citizens and other stakeholders by engaging in dance performances in their communities. This will encourage innovation and provide new dimensions to youth work, enhancing both its visibility and impact. To contribute to the professional recognition of youth work, by documenting and disseminating methodologies, experiences, and outcomes of the project in the form of a practical toolkit, together with project promotion. This ensures that the learning is not limited to direct participants but becomes a sustainable contribution to the wider European youth work field. Through Y-MOTION, youth work practice will be enriched with new methods, broader outreach, and stronger inclusivity, leading to a deeper impact on both the youth workers and the young people they support. Each performance, as a result, is unique and original, so the youth workers and young people will have the feel of ownership in the process on the local and international level, which was concluded in gathering data from consortium in their specific practices.
