The project MoveMe is aimed at young people, youth workers and youth leaders who wish to raise skills and competences for using basic contemporary dance, movement and process drama to enhance their work with young people in NEET situation. NEET is an acronym for ‘not in employment, education or training’, used to refer to the situation of many young persons, aged between 15 and 29, in Europe. The aim of the NEET concept is to broaden understanding of the vulnerable status of young people and to better monitor their problematic access to the labour market.
Process drama is a part of applied theatre and, together with elements of contemporary dance, will equip you to creatively explore the possibilities for young people to be more proactive and open for their personal and professional development.
Taking a Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes
Process drama focus is not for the participants to create a performance for others, but to create an experience for themselves by working through an issue or challenge, making important discoveries about themselves and others along the way. And yet, the development of traditional theater skills, such as listening, speaking, and cooperation, are in fact cultivated and important in process drama.
