Furthermore, the goal of the project is to exchange tools both with the participants and with the project partners. Each of the partners has found some methods and tools which they use in their local community, and the project will provide them with the opportunity to teach others and learn from others. Participative theatre was chosen as the primary method because it was recognized as a valuable tool in the process of empowerment and emancipation of the young. It is based on games and simulations, focusing on individual’s decisions. Implementation of the project in this way, in a multicultural surroundings, will provide the educators with the opportunity to exchange experiences and tools while the participants will be able to expand their horizons and learn about the conditions and life of their peers in other countries and surroundings.
