The training course InmigrART was held in the period 18-24 March 2022 in Madrid, Spain. The TC involved 25 participants from 8 European countries in non-formal educational activities focused on theatre and by using creativity tools for analysing immigration processes in Europe.
InmigrART promoted cultural awareness in participants and facilitated their intercultural learning process, offered to participants a clear methodological approach and new tools based on theatre and creativity, creative working methods focused on promoting social inclusion among young people using theatre and fostered new networking youth initiatives based on arts and creativity as tools for social transformation.
The participants have been working individually and in groups using theatre, they have led sessions for other participants testing their leadership skills. An important goal has been learning how to analyse topics such as diversity, racism, immigration using theatre tools for social intervening.
An insight by a Bulgarian participant in TC says it all:
“Don’t be afraid to not understand something in the beginning…you can find what you are supposed to do in the process.” It was the first thing that I learned during the TC. It has been a wonderful feeling to know different “unknown” people, being in just one point of the world to get together and to live and create ART together for a week. And they became like a family to me, sharing different points of view and laughing together, intercultural evenings and traditional dances and theatre practices, games and reflections and interactions – learning to be a leader!”
