The document presents the historical and social contexts of the project partner countries and describes the target groups with whom they work. It also shows why art in general, especially theater, storytelling and different gamification methods can develop intergroup relationships and empower young people in vulnerable communities. Through this methodology we wanted to reflect on the existing methods and cases of art and education initiatives carried out by project promoters and other organizations in their countries, which add, without a doubt, important aspects for our current work. Moreover, it also describes the Roma theater companies from different European countries and the monodramas that formed the center of the workshops. As no approach is free of dilemmas and practical questionnaires, towards the end we offer them a space for reflection, with the hope that they will be helpful points in the later stages of our activity.
