Water Gems

THE IDEA
Water gems Project aims to connect youth organisations from various islands and offer their youth workers innovative somatic method: embodiment. & space to exchange their positive practice on social inclusion.

WHY ISLANDS?
The geographical context in which the youth worker and youth organisation are working has a huge impact on their target groups. Living on islands can bring a lot of advantages as well as lack of various opportunities (economical, social, educational..) for young people.
We would love to hear what is the reality in your youth work and create a taylor made project for you. Therefore we ask you to fill in this questionnaire so we can answer to your specific needs.

EMBODIMENT
Embodiment focus on body-based processes that allow deeper self-awareness, expression and reflection beyond the words.
We will create different learning processes, founded on the principles of - among others - body awareness and body movement, storytelling and theatre. The activities will be based on non-formal and experiential learning methodologies with a strong participant centered approach.
By the end of the training, the youth workers will have tools to support the self-awareness and self-expression of the young people they are working with. All with the vision to encourage their integration into society.
