▶Objectives
The project aims to engage the elderly (over 65) and the young (under 30) in a dialogue on climate change through theatre and dance, using water as a central theme and reflection input. The main objectives include raising awareness of climate change in an engaging and innovative way; creating performative workshops; enhancing educators' skills; experimenting with intergenerational methodologies at local level and intercultural exchange, culminating in a final performance open to the public.
