About the project
This training course wants to explore and introduce the participants to the practice of body language and contemporary dance as a way to reclaim one’s body, to communicate, to affirm self-confidence, develop creativity and express one’s identity and ideas.
Thanks to the transmission of tools – activities, exercises, theoretical knowledge – materialized into a technical booklet summing up the training course, the participants will be able to make theirs and to use and spread what they have learnt into their own environment.
Participative methods will be used. The workshops will be done in groups and will be complemented with theory, debates, collective games and exchanges with the trainers and between the participants on the topic of the TC. Participants will have to facilitate activities with people outside the training. They will be encouraged to take initiatives and to show creativity and they will be very active in the learning process. Everyday life tasks will be realized in a collective and healthy way, which will also help to build the group dynamic and incite the participants to autonomy.
