The Digital Drama Workshops project is an initiative co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. This programme funds projects in the fields of education, training, sport, and, as in the case of this project, youth. In 1989, the European Commission started their first youth programme dedicated to the collaboration at a transnational level of organisations working with young people in the non-formal education sector. In 1998, another milestone was reached when the European Voluntary Service was launched, which allows young people from European countries to take part in long term (up to a year) volunteering programmes in the third sector. This programme was soon incorporated into the “YOUTH” Community Action Programme in 2000 until the year 2007, when the Youth in Action programme was launched.
