CEIPES is looking for participants for an international 6-day training course on the themes ofholistic learning, theatre of the oppressed and fight against gender based discrimination with young people.
The training Holistic approach: learning to fight against GBD with our bodies, minds and souls aims to foster capacity building of trainers and youth workers working in non-formal education contexts and with young people victim of GBD, by providing them with the opportunity to learn about new methods and approaches, namely holistic learning and theatre of the oppressed. A second goal is to contribute to empower young people victim of GBD so that they can protect and fight for their human rights and those of young people facing similar situations of discrimination.
Project objectives:
- To foster understanding and knowledge on the subject of GBD
- To understand how GBD affects young people in Europe
- To acquire competences on holistic learning approach and understand how it can be used to fight GBD
- To develop competences on theatre of the oppressed and understand how it can be used to fight GBD
- To develop follow-up projects with a multiplying effect on young people
Participants will acquire concrete competences on gender based discrimination (what it is, how does it affects young people, what is the situation in partner countries and in Europe), how to address GBD from a holistic learning perspective (what is holistic learning, how it can be useful in the context of GBD, what are the main methods and approaches) and by using the theatre of the oppressed (mainly forum and legislative theatre). Another objective of the training is to develop follow-up projects with a multiplying effect on young people.
