Art, theatre and improvisation have a better impact with children
For many of us, the summer 2020 will be remembered as a summer like no other in recent history. Despite the changes
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, luckily the implementation of projects’ activities didn’t stop.
Therefore, the association DRPDNM from Novo Mesto (https://www.facebook.com/DRPDNM), Slovenia, organized safe
outdoors events involving local youth, all within the framework of the project IMPACT. Together with the local partner
Association for development of creative movement ‘Arabeska’, several workshops were held, which saw the participation of
immigrant and Roma children. The activity had an overall positive impact on the community, since being together help
boosting the self-esteem and provide a sense of meaning. The youngsters were able to express their passion for art and to
develop their artistic competencies, as also confirmed by Klara Magič Luneai, who joined the workshops: “Artistic expression
in this way infuses self-confidence and is available as creative expression which has a positive impact on self-esteem.’’
The workshops took place on different locations and most of the activities were performed through the technique of
improvisation, which was taught to children, thus enabling them to freely express feelings and emotions. A similar activity
was organised during last year’s training in Italy, but as a matter of fact, working with children can give better results as they
generally are more keen on building trust and connection within a given group of people.
Further workshop session will be prepared and implement during the autumn 2020,… stay tuned!

Inspiring new topics in the ALDA Talks 2020-2021: discover the calendar and register now

After the success of the first ALDATalks series (https://www.alda-europe.eu/newSite/news_dett.php?id=2568), we are glad to
announce the launch of the 2020-2021 edition, with many exciting new topics to debate! An inside look at the core of our
projects while sharing the expertise of our members and partners. Want to discover more? Have a look at our calendar!
Throughout the programme, the speakers will touch upon several different subjects mostly related to the focus of projects
and activities that we are running together with our network. With the aim to share ideas and best practices, we will discuss
inclusion in different spheres of life, gender equality, but also art as a channel to promote social inclusion and revitalize the
cities we live in. In an investigation of the extremely current topics of fake news & digital literacy, we will share tools to raise
awareness on online information; and, by delving into the topic of clean energy and circular economy, our speakers will
analyse the means we have at hand to reduce waste and consumption in order to make our planet a better place.
This new webinar series will be an excellent opportunity for all speakers and participants to explore best practices as well as
the achievements obtained by our members and networks through different experiences; and at the end of each talk we’ll
give YOU the floor, for you to ask your questions and offer your inputs and opinions on the subject!
So… get ready to meet us online! Our first new ALDAtalk webinar will take place on September 22nd at 3pm CEST to
learn about a couple of great practices by friendly cities on the topic of migrants’ inclusion, designed and implemented by two
partners of the EPIC project: Solidaridad Sin Fronteras (https://www.ssf.org.es/es/quienes-somos) (SSF) and KITEV
(https://kitev.de/).
After a presentation of the project European Platform of Integrating Cities (EPIC) , which addresses the challenges of the integration of migrants by targetingmedium-sized cities that have the need to develop expertise in different areas, SSF will present the services, managed incollaboration with the Municipality of Alcorcon, designed to implement the job employment rate within migrants’communities. Project coordinator Gianna Gardeweg of KITEV will then add to the discussion by explaining how it is possibleto foster civic cohesion through the example of their project with the Free University Oberhausen, “Giving power to thepeople”, a sociocultural initiative run by citizens and migrants who can propose courses and lessons thus creating a freeuniversity; and a Q&A session will follow.(https://www.aldaeurope. eu/newSite/project_dett.php?ID=153)
