GRESYS, Green Stories from Youth to Stage, is an international project aimed at young people whose objective is to raise awareness among young people of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda established by the UN by promoting their own experiences and ecological commitments through a in theatrical story.

Alarmed by reports from institutions on the feeling of social exclusion among young people since the pandemic - which has a strong impact on their learning abilities - and their concerns about the environment, our objective is to support them through training on the issues ecological combining artistic practice, theater, and a reference text, the 2030 Agenda.

We are convinced that theatrical practice as an informal education tool is one of the most relevant media to invite young people to translate and appropriate the 2030 Agenda, capable of stimulating their creativity, creating a collective and restoring their self-confidence. The choice of this text is strategic because, both contemporary and essential, it is also written in the form of concrete actions and contexts easily linked to the experiences lived by young people.

GRESYS thus aims to create relaxing theater workshops on the one hand on the artistic translation of the 2030 Agenda, and on the other hand on the collection of ecological stories from young people, supervised by professionals from the cultural sector. These workshops will give rise to two performances, one in France and one in Italy, where the young people will be actors as well as authors: their stories will constitute the main narrative frame thanks to the storytelling technique.

The project begins in May 2023 and ends in July 2024.
