Development idea
The social exclusion of young people is an internationally acknowledged problem in modern societies. The professionals working with young people at risk of social exclusion are in need of new methods and tools for social inclusion.
Aim of the project
The main aim of MIMO was to develop and to apply art-based methods for preventive youth and social work in close cooperation with young people, teachers, health care professionals, artists, and social and youth workers. The main target group and beneficiary of the project results are the young people aged 13 to 17 years at risk of social exclusion and the professionals working with them.
Main project activities
Working in multiprofessional teams during MIMO proved to be both rewarding and motivating for the students and the professionals. The project reached over 3 000 young people in Estonia and in Finland through various workshops, clubs and events. The workshops applied art-based methods of digital (photography, video) and performing arts (puppetry, dance and theatre). In MIMO, also the participating young people had their say to the content of the activities and got their voices heard. The compiled promising practices, new knowledge and ideas have been disseminated during MIMO for the significant target groups of the project through seminars, workshops, training and publications.
