Project description:

The idea of the project had been related to the announced by the European Commission statistics date relating to unemployment among young people in the EU.
Unemployment among youths has been a top priority for UE countries. One of the reasons why this phenomenon occurs is the lack of entrepreneurial attitudes of young people.
The aim of the project was to develop and implement in 6 countries (Poland, Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria), an innovative method called ForProve. It contributed to reduce unemployment among young people. This method combines the two theoretical models: Improve Theatre and Forum Theatre. The main aim of the project was to equip young people with entrepreneurship skills by the innovative method.
The attractiveness of theatre art had to be developed for creating and strengthening the skills of young people which they need in order to be successful in the business world. The new method has been based on good practices in Forum Theater and Improve Theater. It is an innovative non formal education method for stimulation of the entrepreneurship, leadership and transversal skills, definitely contributing to success on the labour market in the partner countries.
