AIM OF THE PROJECT

In our rapidly evolving modern society, the empowerment of young people has emerged as a crucial goal. It is essential to equip the youth with the means to express themselves creatively, become active citizens, and make meaningful contributions to their communities. The project, ‘’Through the Lense” aims to achieve precisely this by providing a platform for young individuals to recognize their values and competencies. The project seeks to empower young participants by helping them discover and appreciate their own values and competencies. The project will utilize concrete tools, such as drama and techniques from the Theater of the Oppressed, to encourage young people to express themselves creatively and to initiate action within their communities.

By raising awareness of the concepts of social exclusion and by nurturing the spirit of inclusion among the youth, this project aims to tackle these issues at the local community level. The project will not only focus on awareness but also on finding practical solutions to issues related to social exclusion. Participants will be encouraged to brainstorm and propose effective strategies to promote inclusion and diversity. To put their knowledge and creativity into action, participants will work on community projects designed to foster social inclusion and address local issues.
