📢 Our 1st CivicDesign4HER Newsletter is here! Read below in English and Finnish 🇬🇧 🇫🇮

We are excited to introduce the first Newsletter with updates on CivicDesign4HER, an Erasmus+ project empowering migrant women through civic engagement and systemic design.

- What makes CivicDesign4HER unique? We use a Systemic Design Framework to understand civic participation through interconnected social, cultural, and institutional realities.
- Kick off meeting: Our partnership gathered in Hannover, Germany for the kick-off meeting to shape the project vision, define milestones, and begin developing key project results.

Together, we aim to strengthen inclusion, participation, and community co-creation across Europe. 💜🌍

Stay tuned as we build innovative tools, learning opportunities, and local action spaces for migrant women and educators.

Behind us are the following activities within an international project dedicated to the use of forum theater in working with young people and to combat discrimination and exclusion 🌍
During meetings and workshops, participants from different countries develop work-related competencies using socially engaged theater methods - based on dialogue, empathy and active participation. The project focuses on building a space to talk about prejudices, radicalization, inequality and experiences of marginalized people ❤️
Educational tools, local social activities and forum theatre performances with young people in different European countries are also being created as part of the activities 💛
During an intensive 8-day course, we will train 14 youth workers from Finland ( for Integration ry), France (Jeune Avenir Mondial), Macedonia (EDU-INCLUDE-Ohrid), Poland (Fantazmat Foundation), Romania (IPSI), Turkey (Aegean Youth) and Italy (FNISM TARANTO) in the practical use of Forum Theater methodology. As part of the training, there will also be a performance in English based on this method 💜
The training is conducted by Jarosław Rebeli Rebski - an experienced coach, theatrologist and drama educator, specializing in Forum Theater and working with theater methods in education and social activities 💚
In the next stage of the project, the participants, working in coaching duos, will perform their own shows in their countries, based on local contexts, as well as train other people. Materials and resources will also be created to enable the implementation of the Forum Theater methodology in different environments 💙
