A practical guide
documenting the steps
and methodological aproach.
To be available in 2027.

We focus on theatre practices and workshops that engage young intellectually, aesthetically and emotionally while devising theatrical and multimedia tools. Performances and all activities the three organisations carry out (Theatre Theatron, DAH Teatar, Gledališče Koper Teatro Capodistria) propel “observers“ into actions, bringing life stories into stage, eliciting and addressing society challenges, such as migration, exclusion, discrimination, difficulty in integration and belonging as well as a wide variety of human rights issues.

We do this by bringing life stories to the stage. We expose young people to real life situations and invite them to bring practical solutions and express themselves. Thus, they can become the heroes of their own doings, sensitizing and mobilizing on an individual and group level.

Our motivation is to trigger processes among youth we deem important to produce the social change. Nonetheless, it is important to understand that this change starts from the individual reflection of our reality, which is why we want to bring up the individual values and transform passive spectators to social actors.

We are proposing inclusive and tailored innovative methods for mentors and facilitators to think up and increase quality of youth work (strengthening and enlarging the network capacity) as well as youth interaction, including awareness and upskilling in using digital solutions.

Throughout the whole process and as the long term impact of this project, we expect youth to gain a higher sense of participation in the society while advancing self reflection, resilience, civil courage, multi-cultural understanding and tolerance.

1. Design a method for pedagogical youth approach in cooperation with our partners.
2. Educate new facilitators who will use our approach in youth work.
3. Youth participants will: boost self-confidence, work on empathy and have a chance to create storylines based on their backgrounds.
4. Youth with fewer opportunities will have a chance to travel, exchange experiences, open new horizons.
5. Digital workshops will provide them with practical skills and tools to disseminate their work.
