MANUALS
Sharing knowledge and experience.
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to take part in many collaborative projects with inspiring people and organisations across Europe. What we value most about these experiences is not only the opportunity to exchange ideas, but also the chance to bring together different skills, perspectives and experiences to create new approaches and methodologies.
The pedagogical guides gathered here are the result of this shared process. They are our contribution to supporting the work of youth workers, educators and all those who dedicate their time and energy to building more inclusive, creative and caring communities and societies.
We are happy to share these resources with you, in the hope that they can offer new ideas, spark curiosity and provide inspiration for your own practice.
MANUALS
Manual for Inclusive Circus Activities
The DiversAbility Circus Pedagogical Manual has been created to support youth workers, circus educators and social practitioners in using circus pedagogy as an educational tool with, and for young people with disabilities.
Its main purpose is to bridge two fields —Disability Care and Circus Pedagogy — by offering theoretical background and practical guidance, methods, and inspiration for those who wish to make circus activities accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
Youth Workers’ Guide to Circus, Theatre and Commedia Dell’arte
Within the scope of the project, we collaborated with our partners Fundacja Innowacyjnej Edukacji from Poland and Teatro Metaphora from Portugal to develop a new manual for anyone interested in incorporating performative arts into their youth work.
The purpose of this manual is to provide a comprehensive, practical, and adaptable set of tools that use Commedia dell’Arte, Social Circus, and Theatre of the Oppressed to foster social inclusion among young people.
Participant-led Manuals
This manual was created during the Erasmus+ training course “Small Frames, Big Stories”, which was designed for youth workers interested in film pedagogy, visual storytelling and non-formal education through audiovisual methods.
This manual was put together by participants during our Theater for Inclusion Erasmus+ training course. It is based on methodologies such as storytelling for inclusion, Theatre of the Oppressed, improvisational theatre and clowning.
The handbook supports youth workers in developing the competences needed to deliver high-quality learning mobilities, with a focus on sustainability and on the Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy.
