CENV operates in the fields of adult education and professional development. The project aims to create an approach based on non violent communication and Theatre of the Oppressed methods like forum theatre, with the aim of improving self-confidence and awareness among vulnerable target group, and of encouraging a positive and effective attitude in work related situations. Also, CENV aims to make people more aware both of the social, cultural and economic context we live in, of the structural factors that make so difficult getting a job and feeling comfortable in the labor market, and also of the potentials of mutual help, cooperation and collective action as instruments to improve people's situation and getting mutual support.
The project has two target groups: people with fewer opportunities for social, cultural, geographical, schooling related reasons ecc.; social workers and professionals in the field of adult education and work inclusion who will be trained in these methods to encourage their diffusion.
The project will develop a specific approach that will be tested by three partner organisation involving both people with fewer opportunities included in work inclusion projects, and educators/trainers belonging to our partners. Besides this process, CENV will provide a logbook and a methodological guide to support the organizations willing to implement or develop further the approach in their projects.
The role of GIOLLI in CENV is organizing a five day training on Theatre of the Oppressed methods addressed to our partners, supporting the elaboration of the project methodology and written outputs, and contributing to the dissemination activities.
