Intensifying international migration pressures present many societies with major policy dilemmas; most countries of the world are becoming more multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual. These changes challenge governments and civil society to accommodate and gain from this diversity in ways, which promote peace and respect for human rights. One in every fifty human beings, more than 150 million people live outside their countries of origin as migrants or refugees. They are highly vulnerable to racism, xenophobia and discrimination. The aim of this youth exchange is to give space to young people to discuss and act against racism and xenophobia by accepting and celebrating multiculturalism as a richness. We will work around four key words: racism, xenophobia, migration and multiculturalism through “theatre of the oppressed”, a participative theatre pioneered by the Brazilian Augusto Boal which involves the spectators and aims at social change. Through theatrical games and exercises the participants will learn how to feel more confident in using their body language to transmit a message and get to know about the dynamics of the theatre of the oppressed.
1 – Summary of the project
The informal group, led by Eider Sainz Laskibar, is composed by young people who share a common passion for art and culture, and who work to face social problems.
“We had the same worries about racism and xenophobia, that’s why we decide to realize this project”

9 – About Basque Country
The Basque Country is considered to be one of the most fascinating places in Spain! The Basque language, Euskera, doesn’t have a known origin and it’s very different from other European languages. The country is covered with mountains and framed with a beautiful coastline and it is famous for its gastronomy. More information about the Basque Country: http://www.turismo.euskadi.eus
