Theatre has always been a tool for saying what's hard to say. Unscripted: From Silence to Impact is an Erasmus+ training course that turns that power into a concrete skill set for youth workers and peer educators — equipping participants to use theatre as a non-formal education tool for promoting sexual and reproductive health, preventing HIV, and reducing stigma and discrimination in their communities.
🎯 About the Training Course
Organised by the International Foundation for Y-PEER Development (IFYD), this training combines artistic expression with peer education to foster dialogue, critical reflection, and social change. It is grounded in the concept of theatre in education — using performance to influence knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours around young people's sexual and reproductive health and human rights.
📋 Specific Objectives
🎭 Develop participants' skills in applying theatre techniques for peer education and social awareness
🏥 Increase knowledge on sexual and reproductive health (SRH), HIV prevention, and human rights-based approaches
💬 Strengthen communication, teamwork, and facilitation skills for working with diverse youth groups
🛠️ Enable participants to design and implement interactive theatre-based awareness activities in their own communities
