Dance and debates - 2021
To set the body and mind in motion
If some young people turn to delinquency or radicalization, it's also because they need to feel useful and involved in some way, within a group. This is why the program offered insights and activities that challenged them to consider their place, their understanding of the world, and their sense of belonging.
We therefore combined, in an original and unprecedented way: debates of ideas, dance and surfing, three disciplines requiring different levels of skill:
- The debate , to appeal to their analytical and listening skills;
- Dance , to develop their creativity and freedom
- Surfing , a sporting activity, to connect them to their bodies and the environment
Goals :
