Inclusion is one of the biggest challenges faced by all EU member states. In the recent past,
significant social upheaval has taken place across the continent. Huge numbers of people
have moved into and across Europe, and this has led to an upsurge in radicalization, the
creation of divisions, and the erection of both physical and mental barriers. Europe
nowadays has more physical walls between countries than it had during the height of the
Cold War.
This challenge of how to create a safe and inclusive Europe is a high priority in the Erasmus+
program: “Europe needs more cohesive and inclusive societies which allow citizens to play
an active role in democratic life. Education and youth work are key to promoting common
European values, fostering social integration, enhancing intercultural understanding, and
creating a sense of belonging to a community, thus preventing violent radicalization.
Erasmus+ is an effective instrument in promoting the inclusion of people with disadvantaged
backgrounds.”
Youth workers are viewed as professionals for whom inclusion is an important part of their
work - in particular ‘youth at risk’ is an important target group for youth workers. Young
people who feel excluded and disappointed, with little confidence and self-esteem, are in
danger of becoming involved with extreme groups. Youth workers deliver important
outcomes with young people who have ‘dropped out’.
In this field, where the solutions are not immediately obvious, innovation and innovative
ways of working are critically important in developing professionals and organisations.
The focus of this Training Course is on the stages before the problems start, using the
methodology of Labyrinth Theatre, which is a proven, effective method to detect feelings,
values and senses under the surface. It can be utilized as a prevention tool by stimulating
feelings and commitments on a deeper level, which can help to avoid exclusion and
isolation.
This European project is an opportunity to examine and reflect upon the issues around
inclusion from different perspectives, to learn from different countries and cultures by
sharing knowledge about new ways of working, and to clarify ideas around a common
understanding of inclusion. It will also help to build a wider and better European network to
tackle the challenges around how to be more inclusive within Europe.
