Project Title - Performing Possibility: Theatre and the Digital for an Inclusive European Youth

<< Objectives >>The project aims to further the integration of young migrants through a dialogic, intercultural process of digital production, rooted in theatre processes. It will develop theatre-making, digital storytelling & online dissemination skills among migrant Youth in Italy & marginalised Youth from rural Ireland, as well as among staff & facilitators. The process aims to raise participants’ awareness of diversity & their engagement in active European citizenship.<< Implementation >>There will be an initial workshop in Cork, which will acquaint Irish Youth & facilitators from the partners with intercultural theatre-making & digital storytelling as ways to explore & disseminate personal stories & ideas. These techniques will be applied with migrant Youth in Bologna, & the stories discovered will be turned into digital outputs by Youth in both countries. These outputs will be widely disseminated through online channels, so as to deepen people’s understanding of diversity.<< Results >>a. 20-30 short videos made by Youth participants, offering dramatically shaped digital stories that respond to the key themes of the project.b. 2 series of 3-5 podcasts (1 in English, 1 in Italian), in which young people reflect on their learning from the project.c. a digital training manual that embeds the other digital outputs within a contextual structure that outlines the methodologies employed & their relationship to the project themes & EU policy priorities.
