We aim to empower children—especially Roma and other minority youth—and their educators by promoting equity and intercultural dialogue. Through creative arts, including a puppet theater performance and innovative workshops, we seek to foster inclusivity, boost cultural visibility, and inspire new educational methodologies that celebrate diversity.

We will stage a puppet theater performance based on the Roma hero narrative, conduct tailored workshops for children, pedagogues, and minority communities, and organize intercultural events. These activities include creative art sessions, storytelling, and interactive discussions to develop and test innovative, inclusive educational methods.

We expect our project to increase cultural awareness and inclusion, particularly among Roma children. The puppet theater and workshops will generate new educational methods, empower participants, and inspire educators. Additionally, our creative outputs will enhance the visibility of minority cultures and provide a replicable model for fostering equity in educational settings.
