The training activity took place
in Barcelona, Spain
organised by INCA Cataluña
3-12 September 2011

Aims & objectives

- To analyze the work situation of young people nowdays and to make them aware of their role as European citizens; to develop new strategy for social inclusion of youth through arts, as well as to discuss the concept of volunteerism, especially in relation to the possibilities to reward and recognize activities of this type.
- To provide practical training tools in the field of social theater, clown and audiovisual, with the aim of training young youth leaders in these fields.
- To create a permanent working group at European level that attends social issues of European interest, providing job opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities in the field of arts; to strengthen the partnership between member associations of INCA Network and the link between local projects and international projects of the same network.
- To develop individual values​​: the personal challenge that propose different theatrical disciplines help us to develop the spirit of excellence and self-confidence; to improve self-esteem; to develop a sense of security and risk; to discover our capabilities and our limits; to develop creativity.
- To encourage group values​​: the performing arts are group's disciplines, where you learn that active participation, cooperation and group cohesion are essential to achieve a long-term objective.
