The project, which began on March 3rd, 2024, and that will officially conclude on March 3rd, 2025, saw the active participation of young people from various schools and universities, including “Spiru Haret University” and the “Special School No. 5”’s teachers in Bucharest. Among the participants and attendants, there were also the youngsters involved in the 2 months classes dance-based activities, which were led by professors Gigi Raducanu and Ana-Carmen Baisan, the two real pillars of the dance-based activities carried out in the last months of project implementation.

During the multiplier event, the project results for Activities 2 and 3 implemented in Bucharest were presented in details, particularly those related to the effetive inclusion and rise of well-being and self-acceptance of youngsters. Experts from Ipazia Production, in close collaboration with all local stakeholders, multipliers and schools, helped ensure the success of the initiative, supporting the operational team in managing the dance-based activities carried out with 30 selected youngsters.

The event also included the recording of testimonials from participants, including professors, experts, dance instructors, volunteers and the young people themselves, who shared their experiences and impressions of the initiative. The interviews provided an important opportunity to reflect on the value of the project, which was appreciated by all those involved, as well as by the parents’ youngsters.

This Multiplier Event marked the best possible way to conclude in Romania an interesting and innovative project that had a positive impact on the young participants, as well as for local organization and associated partners involved. It is hoped that in the near future, the initiative can be replied also in other schools, dance clubs, cultural associations or organizations and CSO and similar institutions to continue promoting social inclusion through dance.

The success of the event and of the Erasmus+ “You Dance” project demonstrates the effectiveness of initiatives like this in creating opportunities through dance-based activities for young people and fostering integration through creative and educational activities. It was the best way to conclude the project initiative in Romania, a project highly appreciated by both youngsters and the various stakeholders.

📌Sharing some photos for the A3 activities carried out in Italy! 📌
Youdance project activities in Italy have led participants to compare, dialogue and collaborate more and more between them! During A3 “in-class” dance-based interventions, youngsters always spread enthusiasm during the sessions. They take risks in various ways, showing their trust in both us and the whole group. Emotions, glances, sharing: this is what they transmit to us as educators every time we meet them! – 🎊 #youdanceproject #youdance #ErasmusPlus #erasmusplusproject #dance #inclusion #integration #youngsters #migrants #refugees #softskills #danceexperience #EUprojects #EuropeanUnion #dancers 🤩🧐🎯🎖 Borderline Danza You Dance Project 

YouDance activities in class: “Communicate with your body”!

📌#YouDance activities in class: “Communicate with your body”!📌
With all the #YouDance participants, during the “in-class” dance-based interventions (A3), as #dance instructors we addressed for 2 months to local youngsters the issue of incommunicability and we tried to use the body as a mean to communicate with the other and to trust the other in a space free from any judgement and prejudice. Through funny and challenging activities, the 30 selected youngsters approached the theme with lightness and #wellbeing: this is the real magic of our “You-Dance” project! – 🎊
