The main objective of this project was to highlight the importance of theatre as an educational tool for young people, developing new techniques that help to work on different values of the personality of the participants. Based on the Methodological Guide of Theatre Techniques for Young People two international workshops, with two final performances, were organized in Romania and Spain, during which young people had the opportunity to value and enhance multiculturalism and to foster mutual respect. One of the priorities is the importance of diversity, of knowing and respecting different cultures, to this end partners used the representation of different legends of the countries or cities of the participating organizations, which helped to discover some of the characteristics and curiosities of each place, together with the transnational experiences that were developed. Partners believe that putting young people in direct contact with other cultures was the best way to make them reflect on how to achieve a more inclusive, respectful and egalitarian society. Moreover, it was a very good opportunity to work on their knowledge of foreign languages, as they carried out the workshops and communicated using English as a common language.
