In Europe at the moment we see the rising signs of intolerance, racism and discrimination in the society, and mainly in media. The need we perceive in young people we are working with is to counteract to the mainstream media which fuels the intolerance and fear and to provide them with tools how to use the power of storytelling and also help them to be able to handle all these negative effects mentioned.
“What A Story!" is a 8-day training course aimed at youth workers, facilitators and educators active in the field of youth. It will involve 28 participants from 10 countries: Italy, Czech Republic, UK, Spain, Romania, Poland, Greece, France, Hungary, Slovakia - plus 4 trainers.
It will take place 12-20/09 in Kisterenye , Hungary (webpage of the venue: www.haromkincsvolgye.hu)
Our aim is to explore storytelling as a transformational educational method; and as a tool of promoting democratic values, inclusion, tolerance, empowerment and critical thinking of young people. We also want to introduce the power of Nature as an inspiration, as a safe background, as our strongest ally in this huge work of education.
The training course has been funded through Erasmus+ Youth in Action programme. Accommodation and meals during the training course will be provided. The travel costs of the participants will be refunded after the training course (after participants send all their travel documents etc.) to this maximum amounts: France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom – 275 EUR | Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia – 180 EUR.
Participation fee: Money shouldn’t be the only obstacle against your participation - therefore we suggest a sliding scale from 40 to 100€ for participation fee (according to financial possibilities).
