By implementing this project, we aim to strengthen the competences of youth workers so that they can use applied theatre as a practical tool in their daily work with young people. The overarching objective is to make youth work more creative, inclusive and impactful, especially in rural communities and with young people facing fewer opportunities. From the perspective of youth work practice, the project pursues several specific objectives: to train at least 24 youth workers in applied theatre methods such as forum theatre, image theatre and playback theatre, equipping them with practical tools to address sensitive issues like discrimination, violence prevention, gender equality and civic participation in safe and creative ways; to increase the capacity of youth workers to apply inclusive approaches, enabling them to better engage young people who face social, economic or cultural barriers; to support the multiplication of competences at local level, with each participant expected to deliver at least one follow-up activity (workshop, presentation, mentoring session) in their own organisation or community, directly involving a minimum of 360 young people in total; to consolidate a transnational community of practice, creating long-term cooperation between six partner organisations and ensuring that the applied theatre methods are embedded into their regular youth programmes. The project also directly supports the Inclusion and Diversity Strategy of Erasmus+, by prioritising the participation of youth workers and young people with fewer opportunities, and it contributes to the recognition of youth work by providing participants with a Youthpass certificate documenting their acquired competences. Building on CEKOS’s earlier initiatives, such as the EYF-funded project Discrimination Divides – Theatre Unites, which already explored applied theatre in education on human rights and discrimination, this project introduces an innovative dimension: it scales up these practices into a European partnership, ensuring structured professional development of youth workers across six countries.
