Storyline Discovery – young people tell, young people lead

How can participatory performing arts strengthen young people’s voices across national and language borders?

Storyline Discovery is an Erasmus+ project in which young people from Malmö, Koper, and Belgrade create performing arts based on their own life stories.

Seminar (30 min): Mentors and young participants share the project’s journey – from idea to finished performance.
We demonstrate how young people are co-creators throughout the entire process and how the methods are adapted to different social and linguistic contexts.

Workshop (60min): Youth for Youth:
A hands-on workshop led by young participants. Try creative tools for storytelling and participatory performing arts, exchange experiences, and gain concrete methods for working with young people in various contexts.

International partners:
DAH Teater – An independent professional theatre company founded in 1991 in Belgrade, Serbia.
Gledališče Koper / Teatro Capodistria– An established theatre in Slovenia with 25 years of experience in innovative performing arts for both young people and adults.

Storyline Discovery is a two-year Erasmus+ YOUTH (2025–2027) project run by Teater Theatron, aiming to collect and share young people’s life stories across borders through participatory performing arts.

Through the project, both artistic expression and social skills are developed, with a focus on storytelling, empathy, language, and intercultural exchange.

6 young people from Malmö
4 youth from Koper, Slovenia
4 youth from Belgrade, Serbia.
