GRESYS
_Green Stories from Youth to Stage
The climate is shifting, reports keep piling up, young people are growing anxious. And yet—they act. Often in silence.
GRESYS was born to turn those actions, that anger, and those hopes into stories on stage.
Rooted in the UN’s 2030 Agenda, the project blends theatre and ecological commitment to amplify youth voices and restore their confidence.
A project where young people became authors, performers, and agents of change.
What we did concretely :
-
An 8-day artistic and ecological training course for young people and theatre professionals
-
A collection of personal ecological stories from 50 young participants
-
15 days of theatre workshops in each country, ending in a public performance
-
One youth-led theatre company created in each partner country
-
Cross-mobility: the French troupe performed in Palermo, and the Italian troupe performed in France
May 2023 → July 2024
Three committed partner organisations:
ALTER EGO (X) – France
La Guilla – Italy
La Transplanisphère – France
With the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and the Label Paris Europe
