IMPROspective

IMPROspective is an 8-day course which aims to introduce and explore principles of “improvisation” and experiment with practical tools and techniques that can be used in daily life, creative work and in different situations life brings.

Training awareness, acceptance and sense of initiative can improve the quality of our days and the things we do. We will learn how to jump into the unknown and to respond properly to the needs of the diverse people and situations we are dealing with.

The international training course will be hosted by EDEN. together with Teatro Invisibile within the framework of the Erasmus+ program. It will take place in October 2023 in Todtmoos, Germany.

The training was designed for youth workers, volunteers, activists and others working with people. It’s ideal for people who want to refresh their skills and attitudes towards everyday life, other people, work and to the world.

We aim to have an overall number of 25 participants from the following countries: Germany, France, Portugal, Czech Republic, Italy and Bulgaria.

The participants must be over 18 years old and speak English at a communicative level, so that they can participate fully in a program that will be performed in English.
