S.T.A.DY DANCE: Skills and Tools to
Address Diversity in Dance Training
Dance is a very popular cultural and
educational activity around the world. Dance training in Europe is
currently subject to permanent socio, economic, cultural changes.
Rapid changes in the labor market and the increasing diversity in
society require improved skills and an enhanced capacity of
adaptation. The common ground of the partnership is sharing a strong
interest in promoting better awareness of the educational
opportunities and identifying gaps in dance training in the
respective partner countries. All partners acknowledge the need of
creating an inter-cultural dialogue on dance training that will lead
to the improvement of the competences of professional trainers in
managing educational paths and activities at a European level.
S.T.A.DY DANCE is focused on the
development of alternative training methods and approaches
stimulating the (re)-integration of diverse groups of trainees with
various backgrounds (professionals, beginners, disadvantaged,
amateurs, dance students, seniors, children, disabled etc.) into
dance training. Through the exchange of practices, teachers’
training in various dances (classical, contemporary, multicultural
etc.) and pilot implementation of training students we aim to create
a common model of improved educational techniques that will
reinforce the educational profile of dance trainers and enhance
their employability. Our aim is to foster the preparation of the
education and training of professionals for equity, diversity and
inclusion challenges in the learning environment. Consequently
individual and collective experience among all stakeholders will be
utilized in order to provide dance trainers with training tools
applicable to a variety of diverse trainees both in formal and
non-formal education. The project based transnational collaboration
will respectively facilitate the access of diverse groups of
learners to high quality education and training. Furthermore the
partnership will increase synergies and links among dance training
providers (dance companies, institutions of vocational training,
cultural centers, dance schools, colleges) and therefore promote
interaction between practice and research in strengthening key
competences in VET curricula.

TRAINING
Trainers'
training will be implemented on two parallel levels:
1)
Internal: each partner organization will organize experimental
workshops with diverse target groups. Dance trainers will test and
pilot implement specific dance techniques in two or more of diverse
target groups: professionals, dance students, newcomers, amateurs,
seniors, immigrants, disabled, children etc. The trainees groups
will consist by 10 participants. The participating organizations who
belong to the partnership address different audiences therefore it
is up to each partner to select the groups of trainees that will
serve as its target group.
2) External: within the frame of
short-term joint staff training events each institution will
organize 5 days learning activities for the partners dance trainers.
Depending on the nature of the host organization and its scope of
activity related to dance, it will demonstrate its own exclusive
training techniques and methods in order to transfer knowledge and
experience in particular training modules to the dance trainers
involved in the project. At the end group meetings will be held
among trainers in order provide feedback and suggest improvements on
the proposed techniques.
Both initiatives will produce a
number of multicultural approaches which will undergo assessment and
evaluation from all stakeholders in the partnership.
