Logos was an Erasmus+ funded training course set in the beautiful mountains of eastern Greece. It brought together 34 participants to train in more advanced methods of facilitation and devising. Using a mix of peer-learning, practical demonstration, collaborative creation and discussion, young Irish and Greek facilitators worked together to boost their facilitation skills and techniques. The project took place in the little village of Agios Ioannis, where our participants slept at a local campsite, void of wifi and home comforts.The project culminated in a series of site-specific performances featuring both Greek and Irish participants around the campus which expressed and displayed the themes and topics discussed throughout the week. Some topics covered included global ignorance towards the theatre of climate change, domestic violence, and the rights of disadvantaged youths.

“Coming into contact with a different culture was fascinating; experiencing their food, and enjoying their music and other aspects. Sleeping in a cabin out in a Greek forest was an incredible experience” – Irish male, 20.

“It was exciting to work with other young people and experienced facilitators. The new techniques and devising exercises they brought were refreshing” – Irish female, 20.

The Logos project also would later inspire further partnership between Crooked House and TENet-Gr, namely the ‘Inspire’ and ‘Oikos’ projects of 2021.
