The project is a collaboration of six partners from four countries, who are working together to develop and share their knowledge and skills in order to:

• Engage the disengaged and connect the disconnected, being inclusion a key element
• Build an inter-modal methodology that links dance with mindfulness and positive psychology
• Promote creativity and leadership in adults through resilience, empathy, synergies, and assertiveness

 

The goal will be achieved through an inter-modal methodology linking dance with mindfulness and positive psychology in order to promote creativity and leadership.

• With the help of finding best practices linking dance, mindfulness, and positive psychology in order to develop soft skills, creativity, and leadership skills.
• Creating a complementary and innovative online course, that will consist of a theoretical part, accompanied by so-called “video pills” that will illustrate and provide practical guidelines for the learners in using the methodology. The dance will be used as a tool for skills development. 

The online course covers topics such as:

• Application of dance in adult education
• The connection between dance and mindfulness
• Dance and positive psychology: practical exercises

Even though the target group is diverse (homeless people, migrants, physically impaired, war refugees, unemployed, NEETS, seniors, substance abuse, etc.), they all have certain characteristics in common, such as dealing with increased stress, low self-esteem, fewer opportunities, psychological problems, low soft-skills, etc. Trainers and teachers that are already working with those groups will utilize the program as a reinforcement of their educational trajectories, integrating it with their own good practice.
