ABOUT THE PROJECT
We – four Roma theaters working on the fields of art and education in Budapest, Rome, Bucharest and Seville – bring in the streets of our towns theater and workshops. We will collect innovative methods such as outdoor theater, street performance, thematic city walks and storytelling and publish foundation bricks on them, which we will use in our own artistic and educational work and inspire the work of other initiatives on these fields.
We will collect stories, which highlight the role of Roma communities in the past and present of our cities and the importance of inclusive, diverse, democratic societies and the danger of segregation and authoritarian regimes. Based on those stories we will create theater plays, which will be presented in outdoor performances on public spaces relevant to the given stories. We will involve 4 young Roma and non-Roma artists in each country in the planning and realization of the performances, who will receive domestic offline and international online training, too. The performances will serve as multiplier events reaching young people and experts of education and culture. The performance will be video recorded in order to make it available for wider European audiences and next generations and also nonformal educational methods. We will involve 4 young Roma and non-Roma peer trainers in each country, who will also receive both domestic and international training and participate in the creation of the methodology and afterwards realization of the outdoor workshops, where the videos about the performances and other digital tools will be also included in the interactive sessions.
THE PROGRAMME IS SUPPORTED BY THE ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.
