Dramblys is committed to positive social change and responsible leadership that works for the promotion of social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Our aim is to combine sociological imagination and inquiry with social creativity to approach and explore solutions to the emerging social problems in order to strengthen local capacity and foster social creativity.
We design and implement a range of training programmers and social activities and campaigns based on learning-centred, participatory and experiential methodologies, for the promotion of life-learning and active global citizenship.
Our work target diversity from various projects at European level and local level (focusing on the migrant community and especially on migrant women). The Wellhoody project has been a reinforcement on our vision and efforts on the importance of diversity but this time with a focus on youth.
One of the main highlights of the Wellhoody project for Dramblys has been its first result, the Good Practice Guide, which brings together examples of projects which’s activities promote diversity or even use it as the foundations of their initiatives in order to contribute to the integration of young people with a migrant background (migrants or native-born migrants) and to increase their wellbeing along with their community’s.
As a leader of this part of the project, the Dramblys team has spent substantial time going through all the best practices and has gained a very solid understanding of how the wellbeing beneficial initiatives work and has been able to reproduce several of them at local level.
One of them has been to offer cultural activities in collaboration with the city’s Youth Centre for young people, taking them through the local cultural and historical heritage and by doing so enhancing their knowledge and participation in citizen and cultural life. The underlying principle is that the more these young people get acquainted with the locality and the diversity it has embodied through the centuries, the more they will fell included in the modern society.
Again, at European level, we are targeting underprivileged youth through cultural activities in different cultural and heritage project. Some of the proposed activities go in line with some of the examples included the Wellhoody Good Practice Guide.
At local level, the Wellhoody project and its good practices have been promoted to organizations who work with women (local and from migrant communities) and carry out activities that tackle their mental health and wellbeing through creative activities (such as craft and elements of performing arts) as well as providing further training for their participation in the labour market. Dramblys has collaborated with them through talks (where the Wellhoody project has been presented) and activities that target and promote diversity in particular.
Finally, the Wellhoody project has been promoted in meetings and consultations with partners of other European projects in the field of youth as a way to exchange good practices of what are considered successful projects and also to explore synergies and ideas for future collaborations. The project has also been shared in Dramblys social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Website and Linked In.
