By implementing the In-Sense project, we aim to strengthen the quality, inclusiveness, and innovation of youth work practice by equipping youth workers with an embodied, sensory-based methodology that enables deeper engagement with young people, especially those facing fewer opportunities. From a youth work perspective, the project seeks to respond to a growing need for approaches that go beyond verbal communication and cognitive learning, and that allow youth workers to work meaningfully with emotions, self-awareness, presence, and interpersonal connection. Many young people experience difficulties expressing themselves verbally or engaging in traditional educational formats; therefore, youth workers require tools that are experiential, accessible, and adaptable to diverse needs. Sensory Labyrinth Theatre (SLT) offers such a tool by creating safe, immersive, and participatory spaces where young people can explore their inner world, develop empathy, and reconnect with themselves and others through the senses. The main objectives of the project are: - To increase the professional competences of youth workers by training them in Sensory Labyrinth Theatre as a non-formal, participatory, and inclusive youth work methodology that can be directly applied in their daily practice. - To enhance youth workers’ capacity to engage young people holistically, addressing emotional, sensory, and relational dimensions that are often overlooked in youth work, particularly when working with young people facing social, emotional, or educational barriers. - To promote innovation and creativity in youth work, by introducing an underexplored artistic method that combines applied theatre, mindfulness, and experiential learning, and that positions the youth worker as both facilitator and active participant in the learning process. - To empower youth workers as multipliers, enabling them to independently design and facilitate SLT-based workshops, performances, and group processes in their local contexts, thereby increasing the reach and sustainability of the project’s impact. - To strengthen cooperation and learning within the youth work sector, by creating an international learning environment where youth workers exchange practices, reflect on their roles, and build a European network of practitioners using sensory and arts-based approaches. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to the development of more responsive, empathetic, and participatory youth work practices, where young people are supported not only in acquiring skills, but also in developing self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a sense of belonging. Through In-Sense, youth work is enriched with a methodology that values presence, experience, and human connection as key elements of learning and personal development.
