The Academy for Actors of Social Change in 2018 aimed to improve and widen the skills of professionals of social and educational fields, youth workers, and individuals who worked with underprivileged youth in remote areas of the world. It was an educational project that combined the positive characteristics of pedagogy and added an innovative layer from the performing arts, methods used and improved by experts.
The Academy of 2018 focused not only on the high quality of theoretical education, but it also created an opportunity to put the newly gained knowledge into practice in order to foster future community development in the local Hungarian context, as well as raising this to an international level. The two-week educational programme invited 40 young professionals representing 8 organisations from all over Europe and 20 local youth leaders from the region. During the project, they had the opportunity to learn new ways of working with underprivileged youth through special social art practices in the fields of various theatre techniques, mask & object work, site-specific performance, slam poetry, and other disciplines.
