From 6th to 12th June was held in Palermo, at the Carmelite Monastery in Ballarò, a training course entitled: Act now to break up violence!
The project, funded by the Council of Europe through EYF (European Youth Foundation), involved participants from different countries belonging to the Council of Europe (specifically: Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Germany) aims to develop a critical awareness among youth on the theme of violence in all its forms, stimulating the debate on this issue, emphasizing the different approaches deriving from different cultures.
The training course focused not only on the intercultural debate, but even on two workshops (one in theater and on a video production) aimed at creating a final product (a video) treating the issue of violence, organized and fully created and played by the workshop’s participants.
The video was also shown to other young people coming from different countries, and it was used as a starting point for a debate on the activities of the training course and also on how the issue of violence was dealt by the participants.
Alisa Harlamova, Alessandro Melillo e Marie Marzloff from CESIE have coordinated the activities of the project.
