The theme for this training seminar is “EUROJAZZ” music, as a tool for better future of Young Europeans. Art as a method of non-formal education when working with young people. This training seminar will give answers, examples and training on “How to make mini art performances in one day? How to involve young people with different experiences, cultural backgrounds and languages and make a cross-artistic performance? How to build up performances with own ideas and talent of young people and use workshop leaders as support of organising art performances?” Music & improvisation gives interesting possibilities for young people and youth workers to work together within art projects. This interesting method opens new doors for persons, who are willing to find new ways of working with young people, using music as a tool of building up young people’s self-confidence and identity. This seminar “EUROJAZZ” targets to develop skills, to work with young people with fewer opportunities and help them to realise artistic projects. Intends to train youth workers & young people and provide them with the competences to act as multipliers in their own organisations. This seminar is one of the projects that resulted as a follow-up of the two previous Jazz Workshops, organised by Filoxenia in July 2013 and in July 2014. Main objectives:- To raise European awareness and social inclusion through music as a tool.- To provide the participants with knowledge, skills and competences regarding the different music techniques, instruments, tools. - To encourage the creativity, leadership skills, innovative attitude of the participants to act as multipliers of the knowledge acquired during the training course.- To develop international cooperation in our work.Main activities and methods: This seminar will enhance several activities such as: group building; discover of the village (Kryoneri); NGO market; presentation of Youthpass; learning different music techniques connected with the work with young people with less opportunities (Orff schulwerk, Improvisation, boomwhackers method, music therapy, using music instruments; Flash mob); street actions; concerts; visibility of the project (internet and multimedia); intercultural night; cultural visits; follow-up ideas.The experts and facilitators will encourage as much as possible the "learning by doing" and use several methods of non-formal education to achieve the objectives such as brainstorming, group dynamics, energisers, ice-breakers, work in small groups, presentations, etc.The result of this training seminar will be the final concert of participants, open for the local community and audio-visual DVD from the project. The potential longer term benefits will be the planning of activities with young people, from the participants back in their realities after the project (organising event-concerts, youth exchange).
