WHAT DOES YNTERACT STANDS FOR?
YnterACT - YouNgsters Together for European Research of Active eduCational Tools.
YnterACT aims to give communication and education a more personal touch! Educational tools like formal debate, forum theatre, role simulation, lateral thinking, creativity games are the right instruments. They are effective because they are fun and one can learn in the same time.

WHAT IS THE MAIN IDEA BEHIND YNTERACT?
YnterACT aims to create a network of Creative Communication Clubs at local level where young adults would have the chance to meet and practice the above-mentioned educational tools.

HOW DOES YNTERACT WORK STEP BY STEP?
STEP 1 – a selection of communication and educational tools to be used in the Creative Communication Clubs will be done. The selection criteria for the pedagogical methods to be used will take into consideration the degree of interactivity, the focus on the person in the process of education and promotion of concepts like: self-expressing, creative thinking, tolerance towards other people ideas, analytic argumentation and discovering alternative approaches.
STEP 2 – all these tools will be put together in a Creative Communication ToolKit
STEP 3 – Creative Communication Training Seminars will be organized. The participants will have the chance to be explained by experienced trainers how these methods are working and to practice them during the seminar. Another important focus of the seminar would be to stimulate the participants to become at local level part or leaders of a Creative Communication Club.
STEP 4 - When returned home, the participants to the Creative Communication Training Seminars will be highly encouraged to start up a Creative Communication Club. Thus a network of such clubs will be set up all over Europe. The Creative Communication Club will be lead by a coach that will be in charge with the planning of the club activities and will be in continuous touch with the coaches from the other clubs of the network.
STEP 5 – If the work in the Creative Communication Club will be mainly done at local level, the “next level” is represented by the Experience Exchange European Events. These events could consist of debate competitions, forum theatre acting, sharing experiences faced in the club activity, problems and the way they have been overcame etc.
