In accordance with the project's objectives and priorities, the objectives are:

– Explore Legislative Theatre and similar methods (such as Healing the Wounds of History, Polarized Theatre of the Oppressed, etc.) as ways to promote inclusion, diversity and outreach of people from cultural minorities, migrants and older people through their empowerment and active participation in heritage and construction processes.

– Provide opportunities for 30-40 people from cultural minorities, migrant backgrounds and older people to participate in civic engagement through an arts-based participatory learning experience.

– To foster a critical understanding and raise awareness among people from cultural minorities, migrant backgrounds and older people, researchers and policy makers in the field of heritage, of the FARO Convention as a guiding document in relation to the common values of the EU, diversity, identity and cultural awareness, and social and historical heritage.
