The POWER project (2018 - 2020) aims to involve socially vulnerable people such as disabled and migrant disabled people, in the production of theatre performances. It will also help enhance the skills and knowledge of producers that organise artistic activities for disabled people.
The project will promote the transnational co-production of a theatre production with disabled actors. POWER (Performances Of Wide Enrichment to Raise awareness on different abilities and promote integration) will help reach new audiences; improve social inclusion of disabled people through artistic cooperation as well as the competencies of operators implementing artistic activities with disabled people; increased mobility and cooperation at the EU level.
