Introduction of the partners
Hungary:
Káva Cultural Group is the very the first TIE (Theatre in Education) group in Budapest. Our main work is the creation of complex programmes and performances that far exceed the limits of a traditional theatrical performance. ”Teaching” democracy, the analysis of social and moral problems through action are all parts of our work. In our daily work with children and young adults, theatre is used as the means of finding the way towards a deeper understanding of certain problems. Our programmes are focused, in a highly aesthetic and professional manner, on crucially important social and moral issues, such as drug prevention, the prevention of juvenile crime, discrimination, agression and exclusion and work with Roma children.

The performances take place mostly at Sigma Art’s Studio, in high schools, universities, professional theatres in Bucharest, national and international theatre festivals.

Palestine:
Theatre Day Productions (TDP)
“I go to the theatre because I want to see something new, to think, to be touched, to question, to enjoy, to learn, to be shaken up, to be inspired, to touch art.”
Theatre Day Productions wants drama, theatre, and creative activities to be a regular part of the lives of young people in Palestine so that kids can find their individual voices, their sense of self, and discover their creative life.
The Arabic name of the company, "Ayyam Al Masrah" (Theatre Days) comes from the notion that some day each Palestinian child will have at least one ‘theatre day’ during his or her school year. TDP makes plays with adults and performs for kids. We also make plays with kids who perform for kids. TDP has set in motion both a youth theatre company and an actors training program. The program is carried out on a regional basis: at present in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.

Portugal:
The mission of the Technical University of Lisbon (UTL) is to promote, develop and transmit scientific, technical and artistic knowledge to the highest standards, encouraging research, innovation and entrepreneurship, and adapting to the changing needs of society in terms of ethics, culture and internationalisation.
UTL is a 21st-century research European university, alert to the new challenges posed by society, and a leader in its areas of knowledge where professionals and researchers are trained to the highest standards.
The Faculty of Human Kinetics (FMH) is the oldest sports and physical education faculty in Portugal. It became part of the Technical University of Lisbon in 1975. It is the fruit of its long history, marked by successive reformulations of its objectives and by its adaptation to society’s needs, as these were interpreted by the institutions that preceded it – the National Institute of Physical Education (INEF) from 1940 to 1975 and the Higher Institute of Physical Education (ISEF) up to 1989.
Originally an institution that focused on physical education in schools, with a strong emphasis on pedagogy, the Faculty is nowadays open to a wider range of study areas of interest to different sectors of society – the education system, sports, health, industry, and the arts – with which it cooperates in a lively and fruitful way.
