The Theatre of Emotions youth exchange will provide an intercultural space where young people can creatively address today’s urgent challenges through the performing arts. Using Cypriot historical legends, abandoned buildings, and natural spaces as stages, participants will transform familiar places into sites of reflection and dialogue, engaging audiences in life-changing experiences. Through interactive theatre, forum theatre, video productions, flash mobs, and street art installations, participants will tackle themes such as social misunderstandings, low employability, exclusion, anxiety, and resilience. A highlight of the project will be the creation of a performance route map, guiding audiences from one location to another, with each stop focusing on a different theme. The final point will be a symbolic site chosen by participants, where a joint flashmob in eco-costumes will take place. All performances will be video-recorded and later shared online, ensuring that the messages developed during the exchange reach a wider audience. Main Aim - To empower young people with the emotional, social, and creative skills needed to express themselves authentically, foster empathy, and make informed life choices. Objectives - To enhance participants’ emotional awareness and self-expression using theatre-based, non-formal learning methods. - To strengthen communication skills and self-confidence, enabling youth to articulate their feelings openly and constructively. - To create a safe intercultural learning space where young people can connect, share, and build empathy through common experiences. - To demonstrate how emotional awareness can support decision-making in personal life, education, and future careers. - To encourage creativity as a tool for resilience, helping participants turn emotions into constructive actions and artistic expression. This project responds directly to the EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027, which stresses the importance of youth participation in democratic life and their role as agents of positive change. It calls for innovative, inclusive, and participatory youth work practices, with creativity, culture, and the arts at the forefront. Theatre is a powerful instrument for achieving these aims, engaging diverse groups of young people, encouraging critical thinking, and inspiring collective action.
