The project was designed to promote Non Formal Learning through which representatives of the partner organisations shared personal and professional experiences, contributed based on their competences, worked collaborative, irrespective background and developed a programme which met the following objectives:
Objective 1: International cooperation between experienced and not experienced Organisations and individuals but also between target group, youths and youthworkers who aim for eliminating discrimination and marginalisation through social inclusion practice.
Objective 2: To increase opportunities for youthworkers to share practice and learning of social inclusion and practices from the field of Arts for bridging cultural and national differences, to work with diversity using non formal learning method.
Objective 3: To develop networking and to leave an efficient impact for the next Erasmus period on the topic of social inclusion and intercultural learning
Objective 4: To develop skills and competences to youthworkers and organisations for improving solidarity and social awareness.
Furthermore we reflected on the following
(a) how the structure of the society changes throughout the time (within months, weeks, days),
(b) what is the impact of Arts for increasing efficiency in the youthwork.
(c) what is the role of any NGO and youthworkers, project manager, to the new situation that appears/is developed.
The project also met International, EU and E+ objectives because:
-encouraged participation of youthworkers and youths, especially the ones with fewer opportunities
-secured safety and pleasant NF learning environment
-promoted the development of:
*learning outcomes and improvement of basic key competences
*practices for intercultural learning, equity and social inclusion
*it was a project from youthworkers and organisations to youths and community
The Seminar held in Cyprus, hosted by NECI EU had the following objectives:
(a) Increase awareness on the positive impact of non formal learning and NGOs effort for youths and communities
(b) develop youths learning to learn competence with main aim to influence youthworkers and local community on developing opportunities for solidarity and inclusion when working with diversity.
(c) offer safe and educative space for leaning by sharing to all participants irrespective skills and background and promote non formal learning on the base of Inclusive practices
(d) explore and understand the power intercultural learning and dialogue for tackling global problems.
(e) create tangible and intangible results that can sustain the project impact
I'm super glad to have taken part in the seminar Arts for Social Inclusion, held in Cyprus from 5th to 10th December 2024.
I must say it has been an intensive fantastic experience. We were representatives of 12 countries: Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Czechia, Romania, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy. From the very beginning we were all involved in the various forms of art and we experimented how they could have been inclusive. The trainers Renos and Inga gave us tips to be elaborated in a non formal way. Each participant had proposed a workshop using painting, collage, theatre, music, songs, physical exercise, storytelling , to learn how to express feelings, communicate and guarantee social inclusion.
All the workshops were very interesting, a fountain of ideas to share with youth workers in our organizations. I'll go back home with new energy, new tools to implement with our youngsters. The intercultural evenings have given to everyone the opportunity to go deep in our cultures through food, dances, quiz, games. We had also the chance to explore new NGOs and establish new contacts for future collaborations.
