Methodology:
The whole project will be based on non formal education and we propose a learning by doing approach:
• flexibility, being learner-centered, contextualized and based on the promotion of participatory approaches;
• horizontal cooperation, where facilitators and experts create a shared learning path with participants and trainees, encouraging the exchange of knowledge;
• personal empowerment through self-esteem raising, development of the self-confidence, competences and skills.
What you can expect:
• theater based methods;
• body movement exercises;
• verbal and physical improvisation;
• handmade workshops;
• amazing homemade Italian food.
