Project title: Human Rights Education through Turkish Shadow Puppet Theatre
Themes: Social rights and Inclusion
Aim and Objectives
Aim: To provide youth-workers with the opportunity to create a new method –puppets theatre– as a tool to be able to involve and motivate young people living in disadvantaged contexts so that they can know their rights and then be able to take part actively in society.
Objectives:
1. To increase participants’ awareness of social rights, inclusion and active participation in the framework of young people living in disadvantaged contexts.
2. To involve 26 participants and provide them with knowledge about social rights, inclusion and active participation in the framework of young people living in disadvantaged contexts.
3. To understand the role of young people in their local realities in the context of the social rights and inclusion.
4. To exchange best practices about diverse inclusion strategies that can be later transferred to other context.
