Youth Work Ireland Galway
Start date: Jul 1, 2011,

Our group will be meeting on a regular basis to work on planning, implementing and evaluating our exciting project. The project is be based around drama and we propose to create a small production followed by workshop based events and discussion focusing on the theme of anti-discrimination. The main objectives are; to perform a play about the issue of anti-discrimination for groups of young people in the community who may experience marginalisation and promote inclusion.To create awareness of the positive work of young people in the community. To both entertain and educate all those involved in implementing and receiving the project. There will be 6 such events with local and regional groups including the deaf community, young people with disabilities and ethnic minoroties. The group identified these marginalised groups in society as the people they would like to implement the project with. The production will be a silent play as it has the capacity to overcome any language barriers or hearing issues. The targeted groups were identified as those who experience social exclusion and who may not otherwise access the theatre. Due to the nature of the project and the nature of the groups they wish to include, our group will travel to each of the 6 marginalised groups and perform a 15 minute production and follow that with a workshop and discussion based event to encourage interaction with the audience. We anticipate that the implementation of the project will occur mostly over the summer months as it will take a lot of planning,preparation and training. The monitoring and evaluation will be ongoing with a specific sub-group responsible for keeping records, voxpops and other media recordings. The documentation gathered during the project will be used to hold a recognition event for those involved in the project. Parents, friends and other youth projects will be invited to attent the event so the group can showcase their project. It is hoped the project will be fully completed, including final reports by December.
