The Erasmus + “YOU-DANCE” project has started on the 3rd of March!

The Erasmus + “YOU-DANCE” project has started on the 3rd of March!

The “YOU-DANCE” project, which formally started on the 3rd of March 2024, aims to promote the individual (emotional & bodily) and collective (social & relational) wellbeing of young people aged between 16 and 20 years old, a very narrow age range that encompasses that transition phase between the status of a minor and that of an adult, a phase of life that implies important changes in civil and social status. In particular, the project intends to engage those youngsters who live in the suburbs, who live in conditions of socio-educational poverty, migrants and war refugees with socio-relational difficulties that hinder their inclusion and integration.

Project’s aim is pursued by using dance as a metalanguage, emotional and corporeal, capable of connecting people, allowing them to get to know each other, to express themselves and their emotions, to use their imagination, to stimulate reflection on themes and events, dialogue and confrontation, through the creation of movements and choreographies.

The YOU-DANCE project is focused on the improvement, through dance activities, of the individual’s sense of self-efficacy to be understood as a greater ability to recognize one’s own emotions, express them correctly and manage them adequately with emphatic ability & emotional solidity. At the same time, YOU-DANCE aims at the acquisition for youngsters “at risk” of social and relational skills expressed through the strengthening of interpersonal communication skills & the recognition of differences and diversity as a value to be shared. Project intends to work for the inclusion of young marginalized and refugees through dance experience. It also responds to the real need to create spaces of creative expression for youngsters in which they can negotiate values, feel important in expressing their thoughts, become “activists” of their own community. The “You-Dance” project is an excellent opportunity also for new organizations, to gain knowledge, experience and capacity in the field of social inclusion through dance activities. This project, which will last 12 months and will be implemented in Italy, Romania and Türkiye, is founded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
