We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new video interview series on the TRANScenDANCE website! These powerful conversations offer an intimate look into the lives of transgender and non-binary artists and individuals, sharing their experiences, struggles, and triumphs.

We invite you to delve into these compelling stories and deepen your understanding by clicking on our dedicated YouTube playlist here. Some of the interviewees preferred not to unveil their identity which is why we provide written transcripts of these insightful conversations, accessible by clicking on the section “Interviews”.

The TRANScenDANCE Training for Trainers programme reached more than 60 participants across the five partner countries involved in the project.

Following the international training held in Marseille, partner organisations implemented national training sessions in their respective countries. During these local trainings, volunteers and professionals explored gender issues and inclusive artistic practices through methodologies combining dance, theatre, and participatory learning approaches.

These national trainings built upon the methodologies and activities developed during the international exchange in Marseille, allowing each partner to adapt the tools to their own cultural and social contexts.

The videos in this playlist go beyond simple interviews. They offer personal reflections on a journey of learning, discovery, and collective engagement.

Participants speak about the experiences they lived during the trainings, the connections created within the groups, and the insights they gained while exploring questions of gender identity, inclusion, and accessibility in artistic spaces.

Many share how this experience encouraged them to rethink their perspectives and strengthened their motivation to contribute to more inclusive and supportive communities through artistic and cultural practices.

Whether you are:

• a volunteer interested in social change,
• a trainer or educator working in arts and community contexts,
• or simply curious about how education and artistic practices can foster dialogue and inclusion,

these testimonies offer a valuable international perspective.

Listening to participants reflect on their experiences reminds us that investing in training also means investing in the future of our communities.

Stories of learning, reflection, and commitment are ready to be heard.
