Theatre for inclusion

Activity description

This volunteer activity is organised in cooperation with the Institute for blind people in Palermo and with a drama teacher, whose role will be to facilitate the activities. The volunteers, together with young people suffering total or partial blindness, who attend the institute where the activities will take place, will participate in theatre workshops aimed to prepare the entire group to a final performance, which will take place at the end of the two weeks. The activities will be implemented through the use of non-formal education and will be aimed at understanding and overcoming the obstacles posed by blindness and language barriers, within a multilingual and multicultural environment.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers will be accommodated in an hostel in town centre, in 4-shared rooms and dormitory style room, without distinction according to gender. The 4-shared rooms are also equipped with one two-sides bed, that two volunteers will have to share. Being an hostel, volunteers could share the dormitory style room with other people out of the group. Kitchen and bathroom are shared. Grocery is provided by the host and prepared by volunteers.
