“In-class” dance lessons (Activity 3) continue in Turkiye, giving good results!

In Türkiye, dance-based interventions activities, organized in #Eregli by ECEM Ballet, for “You-Dance” project Activity 3 are continuing in the best way also with Turkish youngsters. The selected local youngsters continued in these weeks the “in-class” activities, which will probably end at the end of this month at the ECEM Ballet dance studios. All activities are designed to enhance their physical and emotional well-being through dance. The “in-class” activities (which will last 2 months in total) started in the proper way and, after some weeks of dance lessons with ECEM instructors in Eregli, some good results were registered within the local target group, both at physical and spiritual level for youngsters.

You-Dance activities continued in Eregli, in Türkiye, for all November 2024 with ECEM Ballet. 30 young participants are still taking part in the Erasmus+ project and, after several “in-presence” dance-based interventions lessons, we are all seeing the positive results of classroom activities in terms of individual and social awareness. Youngsters discovered also to move rhythmically with group consciousness and to be one. What could be a more creative force than being able to intervene in life with dance? 🎊🤩🧐🎯

November YOU-DANCE online regular meeting was held today!

Today, Friday 8th November a new monthly online meeting took place for the YOU-DANCE project partners. Representatives and experts from Borderline Danza (Italy), Ipazia Production (Romania), and Ecem Bale ve Dans Okulu (Türkiye) met online to update the status of the project activities and implementation, respecting the project’s Action Plan and GANTT.
We have checked documents, deliverables and we have monitored the progress and the good evolution of national activities in each partner country.
We started with a review of project management (A1) and administrative issues, discussing the last versions of timesheets, contracts, expenses and proofs of spending. We also focused on communication & dissemination issues, focused in this period especially on national A3 activities. While we still wait for the final report on A2 activities, for Activity 3 each partner presented their progress and next calendar on “in-class” dance activities, which are “in progress” and will end in November in each partner country.

Sharing emotions during You-Dance class A3 activities held in Italy!

You-Dance activities continue in Italy with the project coordinator “BorderlineDanza”. Numerous participants are taking part in the Erasmus project, more than 50 are those who compose the target group in Italy. We are working with different groups and with each one of them we are experiencing the beauty of this inclusive project: in fact, during the “in-class” activities the participants always find a space to talk with others about themselves and their emotions, always creating a deep and generative atmosphere!
Borderline Danza, for the proper implementation of the You-Dance’s project activities, has started to administer the “intermediate questionnaires” to the participants of the “in-class” sessions organized as Activity 3. The questionnaires represent a way for the young participants to reflect on their daily life and their well-being, but at the same time they are useful for the You-Dance researchers to verify and be aware of the impact that this Erasmus project has on the young people who take part in it.
You-Dance, through the activities that Borderline Danza is carrying out in Italy, is meeting so many young people who join and participate to the project. The common element that the dance educators have noticed is selected youngsters’ SMILE: each “in-class” meeting (as part of project activity nr 3) is characterized by a healthy, fun and light exchange between all participants. The “You-Dance” project, through the proposed activities, always finds a way to entertain both the participants and the dance educators who are following them, creating a positive climate for the well-being of all!
