Inclusionary – Art for Social Inclusion is an Erasmus+ project that uses the power of art to promote social inclusion and help young people develop key life skills. It focuses on those who face social, economic, or educational challenges.

Over 28 months, the project aims to build a stronger sense of belonging among participants and to create a sustainable model for community inclusion through artistic practices.

Together, we will work on three main results:

• A report on current methods and best practices for including young people with fewer opportunities.
• A toolbox with artistic methods and activities for youth workers.
• A MOOC (online course) with creative approaches to youth work through art.

The project is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme, Key Action 2 – Cooperation Partnerships.

The aim of the LTTA is to empower youth workers and educators to use theatre-based methods as tools for social inclusion, creativity, and personal development.

The groups of selected participants will be contacted prior to the mobility about information, activities or presentations that they will need to prepare in advance.

The participants will have the opportunity:

• Understand the key principles and educational potential of theatre-based methods in youth work.
• Identify and use different theatre techniques (improvisation, forum theatre, theatre of the oppressed, etc.) to promote inclusion and participation.
• Plan and facilitate inclusive theatre sessions adapted to diverse groups and needs.
• Apply creative approaches to build participants’ confidence, communication, and teamwork through theatre.
• Use theatre as a tool to address social issues and encourage self-expression among young people with fewer opportunities.
• Demonstrate ethical, respectful, and culturally sensitive practices in theatre-based activities.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of theatre methods and reflect on their impact on inclusion and group dynamics.
