Description
In the context of poor access to culture in some rural areas in Romania, education is not a priority due to stagnant mentalities. On the other hand, at national level, the discrimination of children and young people with special needs, coming from Roma or other disadvantaged social situations, leads to their social and educational exclusion, diminishing their chances for the future.
The project IMPACT - Inclusion and motivation by arts of children and young people”, acts in two directions: On the one hand, it creates IMPACT on 350 children and young people with special needs or at risk of school dropout, of predominantly rural environments, on their emotional, personal and social development, motivating them through arts workshops and psychological support, for school and life, and on the other hand, the project creates IMPACT at community and national level by encouraging culture, education, social inclusion, changing the discriminatory mentality against children with special needs, coming from Roma families or other disadvantaged social conditions by creating an Awareness Campaign through 7 painting and photo Expositions and a Community Film created with participation of young people, promoting to the national level the Human Rights and social Inclusion.
The scope of the project is to support and to promote inclusive education for young people, including children at risk of school dropout and young people with special educational needs, through the arts.
The project is created in a bilateral partnership between ZAN ART Arts and Spirituality Association, Bucharest, Romania and TERRAM PACIS, Oslo, Norway, a partnership created by Bilateral Relations.
