<< Objectives >>1) We think adult educators have the need to know better RoD in order to better manage the process of empowerment with their learners, mainly when they use active methods which imply moving emotions. 2) Moreover, adult educators can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the difficulties in managing the emotions and pains perceived in the group of learners, often coming from extreme situations, poverty, racism, war, discrimination, violence. For these reasons RoD can be also a tool to be used.<< Implementation >>Theoretical SeminarTrainingSystematizing SeminarApplication On The FieldFollow Up SeminarHandbook About Using Rainbow Of Desires In Adult Education<< Results >>1) A 40 pages handbook about Rainbow of Desires used in Adult education2) A rich debate in the 3 seminars about how to use RoD to empower marginalised groups.

"CONTEXTWe have operated in 3 countries, Italy, Slovenia and Spain, where discrimination against LGBTI people is perceived by 20% of people in Italy, 16% in Slovenia, 21% in Greece, according to “ILGA Europe, Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex People in Europe 2014”.Following these data our 3 organisations, with previous common work and experience, decided to start the FHOFIJ project.OBJECTIVESWe kept the same objectives of the planned project and succeeded in reaching them after 26 months of work:- we have reached quality improvements and internationalisation in our organisations by experimenting new methods to defend LGBTI rights.- We have improved activists and professionals' quality of work sharing these methods with them.- We have started to strengthen cooperation between the world of adult education and the world of work, but with difficulty to involve private companies at large.ORGANISATIONS22 staff’s members participated from:- Giolli cooperative aims at creating a more peaceful, fair and democratic world using mainly Boal's theatre method, Paulo Freire's pedagogical approach, Active no-violence, Community Development Approach. We also have been working since the beginning with marginalised groups (prisoners, psychiatric patients, migrants...) youth, workers, unions, citizens around different issues.- Since 1997 the mission of KID PiNA has been to offer quality educational, cultural, artistic and research activities in order to promote social development based on individual responsibility, critical thinking and sustainable living.- Hellenic Youth Participation tands for intercultural dialogue, non-formal education, mutual understanding and solidarity. The main aim of the group is to inspire and stimulate European citizens to become active parts of their local and European community.ACTIVITIES- 4 training assignments where we learned the 5 method (T.O., Loesje, video, assertiveness, anti-rumours) - local networking: meetings with local stakeholders to involve them in the project were held in the 3 towns- 6 national training (in Termoli, Monza, Firenze, Parma, Trento, Koper) and 1 in Germany, about the integrate approach or one of the 5 methods- 6 national seminars (Parma, Bergamo, Nafplios, Tricala and 2 in Koper) with relevant stakeholders to debate the LGBTI inclusion issue. One more is foreseen in March 2019 at Bologna- 8 Forum-Theatre plays for local stakeholders: 5 in Italy, 1 in Slovenia and 2 in Greece. One replay has been organised in Milan end of February 2019. - 2 Image-Theatre and 2 Invisible-Theatre actions in public spaces (Koper, Nafplios, Salonikki)- 10 Video-Book presentations, for professionals, activists and adult education providers (in Casaltone (3), Bergamo, Rimini, Firenze, Maribor (2), Koper, Athens)METHODSWe have been using a participatory approach and 5 methods:1) Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed2) Social-changing multimedia3) The creative writing method ""Loesje developed""4) Assertiveness training5) Anti-rumours trainingMore info: https://www.giollicoop.it/index.php/english https://loesje.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_psychology#Assertiveness_training http://www.antirumores.com/eng/project.html TANGIBLE OUTPUTS- 1 Project website available in English with summary in the other 3 languages of the partners- 1 project Facebook- 1 Educational book, 72 pages, in EN/FR/SP and 3 partners languages, put online - 6 Newsletters in EN, translated into the 3 partners' languages- 1 Educational video with English subtitles- 3 Forum-Theatre plays and scripts about LGBTI discrimination at workplace- 1 common Guidelines sent to Public Authorities and other stakeholders, about how to improve the LGBTI inclusion at workplace.IMPACT AND LONG TERM BENEFITS- Improved skills in the 5 methods and their mutual contamination and internationalisation is the main impact on participants and partner organisations.- A diffusion of sensitiveness to HHRR and LGBTI inclusion has affect the main stakeholders and citizens.- At local, regional, national level strengthened networks and collaboration with our organisations, LGBTI movement and Local Authorities.- The collaboration with Prof. Anna Lorenzetti and University of Bergamo, the City Hall of Parma, the public organisation KHETI (Greece) and the LGBTI organisations Colour Youth (Greece) and Legebitra (Slovenia) are going further and new projects has been developed (one submitted for funding).- The 2 years of common work among us have reinforced our collaboration and will bring to new ideas and projects.- The handbook and video will remain online as tools for other professionals, activists and organisations interested in the topic.- The 40 activists and professionals trained in the 4 events are going to use their skills in their daily work. We are in touch and want to involve them in further activities like a new seminar in Bologna March 2019"

<< Objectives >>Cultural diversity is a reality in society and convictional pluralism is a natural part of it. Yet it remains invisible in mainstream discourse and we observe an increase in hate speech and discrimination towards (religious) minorities. TBNTB supports the inclusion of groups with fewer opportunities and promotes interreligious and interconvictional dialogue using the Theatre of the Oppressed as a innovative tool to transform and to promote an active, committed and participatory citizenship,<< Implementation >>Key activities are:1 online theoretical seminar about Inter-religious/convictional dialogue1 training in Brussels (Belgium) about how to use Theatre of the Oppressed in interreligious/convictional dialogue3 local paths to apply what was learned in the training, held in Brussels, Parma, Valladolid1 feedback seminar, to collect the results of the 3 local paths and setting the tool-kit1 tool-kit about interreligious/iconvictional dialogue approach, integrated with Theatre of the Oppressed.<< Results >>We expect these concrete results:1) Invented and tested new approach to interreligious/interconvictional dialogue, integrated by Theatre of the Oppressedmethod2) High quality tool-kit about this integrated method3) Spread results and tool-kit in the youth work area in Brussels, Parma, Valladolid in specific and Europe in general4) Improved collaboration among Axcent, Giolli, Red Incola.

"Each of the partner organisations are deeply concerned about the rise in anti-immigration sentiment and action across the continent and determined to do something about it.Giolli is the lead partner that has brought the four organisations together. Each brings a specific expertise. Giolli is one of the lead Theatre of the Oppressed practitioners in the world and has years of experience in anti-racism work. They identified Elan Interculturel (France), EFA (England) and Nyke (Hungary).Elan Intercultural brings expertise in fostering intercultural understanding among health professionals and social workers using an approach called Critical Incidents. EFA combines language and literacy training for migrants and refugees with action for social change. They are experts in Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy and community organising. NYKE struggle in their national difficult situation using mainly Theatre-in-Educations tools.All are working with migrants and supporting them to lead complete lives free from discrimination.MiGREAT! has international learning and professional development at its core. We will share our expertise, learn new methods and bring these methods to a wide audience in order to have a bigger impact in the crucial work of creating counter- narratives around immigration and integration.We will run six trainings, in four different countries that will reach around 80 professionals. We will reach 100s more through our dissemination (workshops, seminars and conference) and intellectual outputs (handbook, Visual tools and Theatre scripts. The profile of these participants will be varied and that is one of the key strengths of our proposal. They will include adult educators, theatre practitioners, activists, campaigners, community organisers, pshychologists, social workers and cultural workers. Many of these professionals will be migrants themselves.The methodologies are equally varied. Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is a set of techniques created by Brazilian theatre director and activist, Augusto Boal. TO fundamentally disturbs the relationship between players and audience. Boal talks about ""spect-actors"" and states that theatre is for everyone and not just the elites. In TO marginalised people have the opportunity to express the challenges their face in a creative, empowering way and rehearse interventions that can help to change things in real life.EFA follow the work of Paulo Freire, who was a contemporary of Boal. Freire developed power theories of language and literacy development that puts learners at the heart of the process. He also focused oppressed people and consciousness-raising of their conditions and the potential solutions. Freirean education validates the lives and experiences of the learners and seeks to effect positive change outside the classroom. EFA are doing this in their unique way in London. They are incorporating a community organising approach. This is building power in the community in order to hold the state and the market to account. It is about identifying and developing community leaders in order to take action for the commongood.NYKE add a specific emphasis on Theatre-in-Education approach that is empowering in the context of life in the 21stcentury. Elan Interculturel bring critical incidents to the group. This is a systematic way to analyse key issues and problem-solve. Itdraws from the world of pshychology and is complementary to the methods described above.We anticipate that the project will be transformative, both for the professionals involved and in turn the people they are working to empower. When Dermot Bryers, CEO of EFA London, attended a five day training with Giolli on TO in 2011 he returned to Londonwith a new mindset and a new set of tools to apply to his context. EFA have incorporated these methods into their work, and trained over 100 teachers and activists in TO techniques. We expect a similar impact multiplied many times over. Scores of organisations in at least four European countries and hundreds of practitioners in a variety of fields will learn new imaginative ways of working with migrants to create positive narratives around migration.The long-term benefits of MiGREAT! will be to help make Europe a more hospitable place for new arrivals for years to come. This will benefit host communities and migrants alike."

<< Objectives >>COFA aims to support Adult educators to use Community organising with participatory approaches to make their practice more democratic, more inclusive and better able to connect with linguistically diverse communities of migrants and refugees. The project aims to transform Community organising through the addition of Legislative-Theatre and Newspaper-Theatre from Theatre of the Oppressed, multilingual and participatory pedagogy and Participatory Video.<< Implementation >>COFA will organise three trainings, one in Community organising, a second in Newspaper-Theatre with Participatory Video and a third in Legislative-Theatre and its potential for Community organising. We will also develop 5 Project Results: a podcast and article about Community organising, a website to support participatory and multilingual facilitation, a Newspaper-Theatre tool-kit, a handbook of Legislative-Theatre best practice and a Guide to start a Participatory Video process.<< Results >>Through training, research leading to 5 relevant Project Results and dissemination through a series of multiplier events in each of the partner countries COFA intends to support Adult educators and Community organisers to introduce new methods that will help them be more effective teachers and organisers, especially with migrant communities. The ultimate outcome will be that migrant communities benefit from the more inclusive and more effective community organising practices.
