This Toolkit is divided into four main sections. Each section includes detailed instructions and materials for youth workers to deliver non-formal workshops with young people on the following topics:

• Social Inclusion of marginalised youth from ethnic minorities

• Theatre-based non-formal methods

• Development of youth advocacy & leadership

• Social media for active engagement in community & politics

This theatre performance is a result of puppet workshops in Athens involving young people who took part in the project. Participants created the story and their characters to talk about the importance of youth participation in political and civic life to fight for freedom and democracy in all spheres of our societies.

Combining social theatre and discussions about inclusion and minorities discrimination in our societies, young people came up with an original play to talk about the importance of showing empathy and kindness in our everyday life to change biases and make life better for everyone in our community.
