Art for Future

Youth Exchange on improving youth work methods and tools for wellbeing, empowerment and advocacy of
minority youth through theatre techniques.
2-11 March 2023.
Riga, Latvia

Themes of the Youth Exchange:

The Youth Exchange will be based on non-formal education. Experienced trainers’ team will
facilitate the learning process of participants. Its methodology will be learner – centred. It will consist of
theoretical elements about Erasmus+, theory about theatre and drama methodology, practical elements of
equipping youth workers in theatre tools to work with minorities and empower them, elements of experience
and practice-sharing, elements aiming at reflection on gained competences, developing new theatre
methodologies to work with minority youth. Participants will practice the methodology of Stanislavsky Theatre
(psychological theatre), improvisation theatre methods and pantomime methods.

The overall aim of the Youth Exchange is to response to the rise of racism in the EU (populism,
migrant crisis) and the needs of young people in our organisations, as well as in relation to the experience of
partners in using intercultural learning tools such as music, dance, and other forms of art in youth work.
Learning objectives of the Youth Exchange are:
- To use drama tools for breaking the ice, teambuilding, developing communication skills, physical
warm-up, group dynamics and encouraging creativity in order to empower and support the
expression of young people with minority, refugees and migrants background.
- To brainstorm on problems which the youth workers who participate in the project face in their daily
work with youth from minority, refugees and migrants background.
- To motivate others through own examples of successful stories.
The methodology of the Youth Exchange:
Methodology of the project is based on an intercultural approach and non-formal education. We have
foreseen a dedicated workshop (theory and practice) on music as non-formal educational method to make
them understand how this tool can be used for intercultural dialogue.
