The LegiLAB 4 Progress project intends to look into political involvement (mainly of young people) in Europe, their interests and ways of communicating with decision makers. Legislative Theatre is an important technique of the Theatre of the Oppressed, also called theatre for social change, connected to communication with decision makers.

In LegiLAB 4 Progress we will exchange examples of good practice in the field of Legislative Theatre, compare political involvement and communication with decision makers and produce two intellectual outputs: a booklet and a film in which we will give voice to the young, who are usually excluded from the processes of decision making, and enable them to be 'heard'. Both the film and booklet will be freely accessible to the general public and the youth sector on the internet.

During the project each of the participating organisations will develop its own form of Legislative Theatre in its country and local environment, while at the same time exchanging their results and processing the results. By comparative analysis of the state of political participation of youth in the countries of participating organisations we will gain insight into the ways of social engagement of youth in individual countries and thus allow for transferring good practices elsewhere.

Partner organisations in the project: Giolli (Italy), Active Inquiry (Scotland), Pracownia Inspiracji Społecznych (Poland) and Pekarna Magdalenske mreže (Slovenia).

 

The project is financed by Erasmus+ MOVIT
