🌿 Call for Participation – “Parents & Teenagers in Motion” Workshops

As part of the European programme Move to Connect, we invite 24 adults to take part in a free weekend of workshops exploring the relationship between parents and teenagers through movement, creativity, and embodied listening.

These workshops are open to anyone caring for a teenager — parents, guardians, foster families — either individually or as a couple.
No previous artistic or dance experience is required.

🌈 An inclusive and welcoming space

Participants of all gender identities and backgrounds are welcome.
The workshops are open to people from marginalised or diverse backgrounds and to those living with disabilities.
The artistic team is committed to creating a safe and respectful environment, celebrating cultural, social, and bodily diversity.

🔍 A key phase in the European research process

This weekend is part of the testing and research phase of the Move to Connect programme.
Parents will actively contribute by sharing their experiences and feedback, helping to evaluate the impact of the workshops.
Their insights will inform the final version of a European training programme to be shared with other adults across Europe.
