#KeepItReal: community in a circle

10/12 operators from CIES and daSud; 20/30 vulnerable youths in Rome; interested citizens.

For years, daSud and CIES have been carrying out informal education based on creativity, both using rap and the instruments of Hip Hop culture as methods and educational paths for adolescents. Today they feel the need to compare and exchange experiences, offering new creative possibilities to the adolescents with whom they work.

The #KeepItReal: comunità in cerchio project aims to promote an exchange between the two associations by enabling them to share both with each other and others in order to identify the best educational-operational practices by instituting an open and horizontal exchange with institutions regarding new formal and informal educational models to put into practice through the educational community at all levels.

In particular, the project foresees 6 workshops of self-training with exchanges among participating  teachers, educators and professionals to come up with a methodological comparison for the creation of common, synergistic strategies through contamination and the identification of operational modes; 12 joint workshops with the beneficiaries will be held to foster, first and foremost, new relationships and experiment with different methodologies; a literary and multimedia publication made up of contributions and reflections, interviews, podcasts and audiovisual shorts. Participating in the project are artists, educators, scholars, teachers and researchers, operators and national and international agencies.
