Project Overview

"Art for inclusion" is a European dimension project funded by Key Action 1 of the European Commission's Erasmus + program, which will bring together 7 entities dedicated to the inclusion of disabled people using theatrical tools. The main activity of this initiative will be to hold an international seminar from the 2nd to the 8th of April 2018 in Alfaro (Spain) in which 22 professionals from 7 different countries will participate. Coordinated by ON & OFF (Spain) and with the cooperation of ARSIDO (Asociación Riojana para Syndrome Down) and with partners from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Italy, Ireland and Portugal. This seminar will allow the representatives of these entities, and those responsible for their programs, to take part in a range of activities. These activities are designed to
provide them with new knowledge and skills in the planning and execution of inclusive artistic programs, specifically through theatre and to encourage the use of these skills at a transnational level, as well as the development in their local communities. Therefore, the aim of this program is to increase the possibility of transnational funding while also increasing the possibility of further
cooperation of these organisations through activities related to visibility. Additionally, an aim of this program is to increase the possibility of further cooperation in programs such as Erasmus+, and others, that are designed to facilitate networking between organisations. From this experience, these
organisations and their staff will increase their technical capacity in the coordination and management of projects and subsequently create a framework of unity to carry out additional educational projects involving young people from different countries. During the seminar we will go to the Ideal Theatre of Calahorra to see the work of “Gesture Theatre” executed by one of the inclusive
groups of theatre that our Association ON & OFF coordinates with, ARSIDO, in order to reinforce networking at an international level and to improve it at the local level. We will also visit public institutions and local partners such as Theatre Dynamics and La Casa de Tomasa. This will allow the other organisations participating in the project to see how this organisation manages its programs, how it works locally and how it has implemented different European projects within Erasmus + in recent years. In order to achieve these objectives and the general objectives of this project, all the activities of the project need to promote an active participation between peers through workshops and group dynamics that will enable everyone to learn new practices in inclusive activities of people with and without disabilities through the theatre and discover the similar struggles to create this inclusion in the countries present in the project. Additionally, the "Art for inclusion" seminar has been
designed as a joint framework that will allow its participants to start building and designing new transnational projects. Therefore, allowing them to generate new educational skills in how to use theatre as a tool for the inclusion of young people with diverse capacities, based on inclusive values such as solidarity, tolerance and dialogue. In addition to this, the project will have a visibility system that will increase the presence of the partner entities in their local communities and position them within the European sphere thanks to tools such as press releases, regular publications in social networks and the creation of a blog that will make it possible ,not only to access the project information and news, but also of the main result of "Art for inclusion": a document composed of allthe good practices presented during the project.
