The project creates educational opportunities for 150 disadvantaged 15- to 24-year-olds in Poland. It gives them a chance to attend drama, film, computer and art workshops, and be active in society.
Beneficiaries are 150 disadvantaged students, including young people from poor families, teenagers from an orphanage deprived of parental care, victims of drugs addiction and alcoholism. All aspects of the project aim at improving their educational prospects and supporting global integration through artistic activity. Workshops are held in specialized educational and re-socialization centers, such as local community/therapy centers.
All students attend a free, 1-year course (100 hours) to work on their own performances or works of art. Performances then are presented to the public through a series of programs in their town and throughout Poland.
Thanks to the workshops, almost 80% of the participants will continue their suspended secondary education; 30 young people will find a job and 20 young people will get involved in charity work.
