Abstract

The project is developed in the cooperation of NGOs from Hungary, United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain. Its main aim is to contribute to the reduction of early school leaving and to improve the school retention rates of the participants.
Their special target group is those young people who face with social barriers and disadvantages hence they are at risk of early school leaving. Youth community centres help to reach the target group.
The project partners use alternative methods which serve as basis of the project: Forum Theatre and Community Reporter methodology. Both methodologies help to discover, analyse and understand personal and social problems in informal learning and teaching forms where collaboration is essential.
The project ended in August 2017 hence you can find several results on the website:
- videos, stories and blog.
- video lessons which give overview of the methodologies uses in the project
- As for the outcomes, the partnership created an online booklet where they summarized what they learned and how they learned. The booklet contains short description of each workshop which uses the two mentioned methods hence the reader can have an overview from different point as the video lessons.
- As part of what they learned the partnership identified 5 categories (relationships to peers, teachers, personal factors, economic situation and representations of the school) that can affect staying in school. They also identified those factors which drive away from school and their counterparts which help keeping youth in school. Regarding the process of the workshop another chapter summarizes how they worked and how they could handle difficult situations such as participants were constantly talking and interrupting the trainer or even being destructive (both physically and mentally).
- As a part of the above-mentioned booklet they also compiled recommendations on How to create a school that students would not want to leave?
Key words: Forum Theatre methodology, Community Reporter methodology, factors of leaving school, handling difficult situations, workshop methodology
