The project in a few words
The ‘Rainbow Project’ was a 9-day training course organized by Get Involved in Panichishte (Bulgaria) in September 2023, focused on boosting social inclusion among youth by using theatre practice.
During the project, participants had the chance to experiment with specific tools based on the theatre practices of storytelling, acting and devised theatre. Youth workers were invited to explore the life stories of marginalized personalities whom they admire in order to create a theatre performance based on their stories of marginalization
