/0 Comments/in , /by

On August 9th 2024, BorderlineDanza hosted a presentation event for the “You-Dance” project in Bitonto, Puglia, specifically at Masseria Lama Balice.

The initiative was enthusiastically embraced by local participants who attentively listened to our project overview, watched the dance live performance, actively completed the provided questionnaires (A2 surveys) and then  joined a common dinner at the “Masseria”,  that was an opportunity to talk with people and local youngsters from Puglia Region about the “You Dance” project.

This occasion also offered to BorderlineDanza ETS the real opportunity to showcase a choreographic intervention through a performance by two Italian dancers. This intervention is born from the activities and choreographic modules of You-Dance project on anatomy, expressiveness, emotionality, the same work that we will do with participants as soon as they will start the project.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who joined us and supported the YOU-DANCE project in Bitonto (Puglia)!
We can’t wait to start dance-based activities, which will be carried in a “face to face” modality (in presence) starting from September 2024. Stay tuned and follow us also on “You-Dance” official social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) for latest news and for new events and dance inclusive initiatives!

On July 8th, 2024, the YOU-DANCE project partners held their regular online meeting via Google Meet to review the progress made over the past month. Representatives from each partner organization, including Borderline Danza (Italy), Ipazia Production (Romania), and ECEM Ballet School (Türkiye), provided updates on their activities and discussed upcoming tasks in line with the project’s Action Plan.

Key discussions focused on the ongoing implementation of Activity 2 (A2), which involves the collection of surveys from the local target groups, including youth and vulnerable populations. While the Romanian team successfully continued their communication efforts and survey collection, the Turkish team faced delays due to the summer holidays. They are exploring alternative strategies to complete the surveys by September. Meanwhile, the Italian partners effectively promoted the project at a local Dance Festival, raising awareness and engagement.

The meeting also addressed administrative tasks, emphasizing the importance of regularly updating work contracts and timesheets on the project’s Google Drive to ensure accurate reporting. Further discussions centred on the next steps for Activity 3 (A3), focusing on dance-based interventions and the creation of a digital portfolio. The partners plan to start these interventions in September, with a new detailed guide being developed to tailor the activities to participant needs.

In terms of communication, it was agreed that each partner would continue to manage the project’s social media presence, with responsibilities rotating monthly. ECEM Ballet School will handle July, Borderline Danza will cover August, and Ipazia Production will take charge in September. The partners emphasized the need for regular updates to maintain project visibility and engagement.

The meeting concluded with plans for the next online gathering on August 9th, 2024, where the partners will finalize preparations for the upcoming Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) in Turkey and continue to monitor the project’s progress. The partners remain committed to achieving the YOU-DANCE project’s objectives, ensuring successful implementation and meaningful outcomes.
