Internantional Youth Exchange "Social Theater for Europe" in Purchena (Spain)
July 28, 2019 at 6:00 pm
This
project took place from 09-17.07.2019 in the smalle village of Purchena.
EuroYouth was involved as partner organisation and sent 5 youngsters and young
adults to participate. Italy, Bulgaria and Turkey were equally represented. The
overall 34 participants had a full schedule. In theatre workshops they got to
know the form of social theater. The idea is, to display issues of society
through the medium of theatre, and to actively engage the audience. This way,
the topics can be discussed and scenes can be replayed and changed. But
equally important aspects of intercultural exchange and travel weren’t missing
either of course. Besides intercultural nights, the participants got to enjoy
trips to the town of Cela, to the Andalusian Youth Institute in Almería, and to
the beach. The highlight of our participants was the performance of social
theater in front of a local audience who actively engaged in the discussion and
trying to find different endings to their scenes.
