Facing the ever-bigger tides of clandestine immigration, which
jeopardizes thousands of people, especially young people. The European
countries increase their actions to regulate the migration and try also to
restrict the numbers of traffickers who make money by endangering the
hopeless immigrants. Many of them are confined in some retention
centers where their basic human rights are not respected.
As far as the Maghreb countries are concerned, they have launched many
actions to make the youth aware of the dangers caused by the clandestine
immigration. However, these efforts cannot be successful without an
efficient cooperation from the countries of the “Euro med zone”. The
organizations who work with youth take an important part in raising young
people’s awareness about the dangers implied, and should enhance their
hopes, so that they latter can play an active role within their community.
In this context, we implemented a project in partnership with NGO
from Italy, France, Tunisia, Morocco, Greece and Algeria. Our aim is to
struggle against the clandestine immigration and inform the youth about
causes and consequences, by means of theatrical practice, which is
valuable as a tool of promoting and defending the human rights. The
beneficiaries of the project shared their experiences and good practices,
applied innovative methods of non-formal education, centred on the
theatre, and got actively involved in the struggle of the local communities
against this humanitarian and social problem. Our project consisted of the
following activities:
2-days Kick off meeting in Morocco, to specify the methods to be
applied and the roles of every partner.
2- A research/survey about youth immigration (causes, consequences,
local realities in the partner countries).
3-10-days training course in Greece for 24 youth workers and young
leaders, to develop knowledge and competences about the dangers of
clandestine immigration and the potency of the theatrical initiatives as a
way to promote young people’s education, social inclusion and well being
in their countries.
4- Caring theatre workshops which aim to raise youth awareness about
this topic within the concerned communities.
5- 10-days youth exchange in Tunisia involving 42 young people from the
beneficiaries of the local theatre workshops, to exchange their good
practices in the theatre field for inclusion focusing to the immigration.
6- The creation of a pedagogical tool which propose some educational and
non formal activities for inclusion and thru theatrical practices.
7- Caring local event to disseminate the results of our project and raise
the public’s awareness about the danger of the clandestine immigration
(workshops, video shooting, round-table discussions, etc.) by each
partner. This event will be managed by the trained youth workers and
youth involved.
8- 2-days evaluation meeting in Tunisia, where the partners will assess
the project and make a plan to ensure the sustainability.
