The project "IDEA - Intercultural Dialogue for European Awareness" comes as a direct follow-up of the youth exchange "ACID - Art and Creativity for Intercultural Dialogue" in the framework of the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Commission (2014-3-ES02-KA105-005146); organized by INCA Catalunya in September 2015. The project aims at providing young people from European partner organizations with specific tools based on art and creativity, and at promoting the values of European citizenship beyond Europe itself. The objectives of the project are: to reflect on the processes of intercultural dialogue in Europe and its current challenges; to promote the exchange of good practices among youth organizations working with arts-based tools and creativity; to facilitate in the young participants the development of specific competencies based on art and creativity, in order to improve their educative initiatives; to promote the recognition of Non-Formal Education as a complementary approach to formal education. The project foresees an activity, a training course, which involves 29 young people (including trainers and support staff) from Spain, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Macedonia, Turkey UK and Serbia. The profile of the participants is that of young people active in their sending organizations, mainly as youth workers, trainers and facilitators; and interested in the use of art and creativity as tools for social transformation. The planned activities will be based on the principles of Non-Formal Education, and will include group dynamics, simulations and role play, physical work, small group work, “dramatization” of situations close to the participants, and an exchange of experience and best practices. As a main result, the participants will acquire new specific competences based on art and creativity; moreover, the project will also impact the partner organizations, empowering them through their participants. In a long-term perspective, the project aims at raising awareness about a stronger inclusion in the European integration’s process.
