The aim was to raise awareness of the topic of peace among young people. They were to be brought together from different national and social backgrounds to explore the topic together and, using the chosen art form of theater, present their findings live to audiences in the respective cities. At the same time, recordings were made to allow for wider audience participation. Bringing European young people together to strengthen their confidence in dealing with conflicts and to find solutions was a key goal.

Four mobilities within France and Germany accompanied by numerous rehearsal periods on different stages as well as an accompanying cultural and regional program.

Text materials: A script for the performance was created with the students, with pedagogical and artistic support. Existing texts were used, adapted, and adapted for the theater project. (See presentation and explanations in the activities.) A theater script with its own stage directions was created. Sound and visual elements were developed and precisely combined. Visual elements from the work of an artist, Zsolt Deak, were used for this purpose, which he had made available to the school. Costumes were arranged by the students. Six performances in German and French before a public audience in two different theaters in Bordeaux and Ennepetal. A multilingual brochure was created to facilitate understanding. Video and photo documentation of the preparation and performances was published online. Further project work (students Q1) was created on the collaboration and the exploration of individual texts.
