On Sunday, the 2nd of March 2025, a multiplier event was held in Turkey, in Eregli (county of Zonguldak), as the final ceremony of the “You-Dance” project, an event with gathered youngsters, parents and participants to local project activities aged 16/20 years old.
The multiplier event aimed to disseminate the project results and activities, spreading the impact at local level of all the initiatives and dance-based actions organized in the last years with the selected local target group.
The event was organized at the venue of Ecem Ballet and, as a local project partner which is an important and well-known dance school, Ecem held an event that became a day full of excitement, enthusiasm and energy.
During presentations, project results for Activities 2 and 3 were explained, particularly those related to the inclusion of low-income and vulnerable adolescents and youngsters in terms of self-esteem, self-acceptance and well-being of local youngsters.
The common idea of each participant was to start over again in a new or similar projects and other dance schools were also involved in the methodologies and toolkit produced in terms of replicability of the initiative.
As last scene of this great project, Ecem wanted to thank all participants and supporters for the contribution provided. – #YOUDANCEPROJECT #YOUDANCE #erasmusproject #erasmus #dance #inclusion #integration #youngsters #migrants #refugees #softskills #danceexperience #EU #EUproject #EuropeanUnion

📌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”!📌
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! – 🎊

✨ “In-class” dance lessons in Romania make possible to share emotions during A3 activities!!💃✨
📣The “You-Dance” project continues its activities in Romania in collaboration with Ipazia Production. Thirty local participants are involved in the Erasmus project, where dance instructors engage with different groups. Each session highlights the beauty of this inclusive initiative: during the “in-class” activities, participants not only feel more connected to the group but also find a space to share their thoughts and emotions with others. This fosters understanding, empathy, and a deep, generative atmosphere. 🫂Project Activity 3 brings smiles and positive energy to the selected youth, with each “in-class” session (as part of A3) offering a light-hearted, enjoyable, and healthy exchange among participants.
The “You-Dance” project, through its activities, consistently provides entertainment and support for both the young participants and the dance educators, creating a positive and welcoming environment that promotes #wellbeing for everyone involved.🎶
Please find below other photos of both youngsters’groups exercising in class and 2 short videos of the lastest dance training meetings organized in Bucharest.
