Training Course
19-26 June 2024 | Bru Moytura, Co. Sligo, Ireland
Project Summary
Spinning a Yarn (SAY) is a 6-day training course which aims to support youth workers and educators to enhance their Global Citizenship Education competences through storytelling and theatre techniques. We will use non-formal learning approaches which centre the participant in engaging and immersive activities (active, collaborative, experiential, project-based, problem-based and inquiry-based learning). These skills are developed to harness your power to mobilise, inspire and empower the individuals and communities you work with to take action as global citizens. We welcome participants who have an understanding of Global Citizenship Education and, most importantly, are motivated to learn, share, collaborate, explore and wish to use their skills in their work or communities.
Objectives
1) To enhance the storytelling skills of participants, enabling them to share information creatively and effectively
2) To introduce participants to the principles and techniques of Theatre of the Oppressed as a tool for social change and empowerment
3) To support participants ’ media literacy skills, ensuring they understand the significant impact of media in shaping narratives and public discourse
4) To develop participants ’ global citizenship competencies such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and active citizenship skills
5) To create a network of educators, trainers and artists working with storytelling and Theatre of the Oppressed techniques at a local, national, European and global level
