ATENEA
Autobiographical Theatre fiction as innovative tool to address the human Vulnerability
The scope of ATENEA is to foster European cooperation between different partners (and relevant stakeholders) in adult learning (migrant integration, intergenerational learning, social inclusion) through specific innovative pedagogical approaches using the “Autobiographical Theatre” – ATENEA is based on a good practice of “Autobiographical Theatre” that was carried out with mental health disease adults, of the Àmbit Association (Project leader) in Spain.
ATENEA project promotes the social inclusion, priority will be given to actions that help address diversity and promote ownership of shared values, equality, including gender equality, and non-discrimination through of non-formal educational and training paths. ATENEA will engage 25 therapist and five different groups of vulnerable people (30 people in all) and about: Women facing social and geographical obstacles; long-term unemployed people; People with mental diseases; Asylum seekers/refugees; Women from disadvantaged neighbourhoods and Former inmates. Participants will be involved in7 local workshops and in 4 international pilot training workshops, taking part, at the end in Autobiographical theatre plays. Moreover, they will be involved in a Festival of Autobiographical Theatre in Germany. The pristine idea aims to reflect on the experience in a theatre training process with a group of people with disabilities, who were in vulnerable conditions and diversity. The concept of “Autobiographical Theatre” consists of an original piece based on the contents of the author’s personal life (participating user), and the representation in front of an audience. The autobiographical or self-referential piece usually has a revealing aspect that shows personal contents and allows the author / authoress/actor/actress to aesthetically explore events in his life, express feelings such and make visible issues that concern and interest him/her.
