Educathe+ Expander is an Erasmus+ funded partnership for adult non-formal education focused on inclusion and capacity building of people with disability and organisations that work with and for this population by means of educational theatre.

Educathe+ Expander (E+EX) builds on successful Grundtvig workshop Educathe (2013) and

Educathe+ KA2 Strategic Partnership (2015-2017) - and expands on them geographically and in practice.

Similar to its predecessors, E+EX brings together new organisations that use educational theatre (ET) practices in working with/for people with disability (PWD). This time we expand to organisations who work with women or immigrants, teach them to use ET, and learn from them as the “control group” (for measuring the success of our practices). Thus, the “Educathe movement” develops its network and database of good practices, and increases the popularity of ET in non-formal education and disability social work.

In E+EX, partners come together to share and document their existing ET practices and develop new ones; enhance visibility of PWD and their skills in the society and in the labour market; empower, and develop Key competences of all those involved (PWD, assistants, theatre educators).

We will reach those objectives through Drama-Action Model (DAM), the basic methodological

framework developed by sociologist dr.sc. Hromatko and used in all “Educathe movement” activities.
