TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Riccardo Brunetti
A TC based on theatre as tool for social development, using methods of non-formal education by means of an active participation. TC focused on the topics of Intercultural dialogue and Social exclusion.
The project gathered 20 participants from 10 European countries: Austria, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom. The training team was composed of staff from three different countries (UK, Italy, Austria).
The work was based on theatre workshop, physical work, performance, movement work, team building, training and other theatrical methods. The work was primarily creative, self reflective, collaborative, and intensive, largely based on movement and physical activities.
The TC was a huge success, giving rise to many connections between participants (multiplier effects) and generating new projects based on non-formal education methods.
I was one of the two Key, full-time trainers involved. I also developed the programme of the activities beforehand and reported about them after the project ended.
