Since 2003 EFA has been involved in European programs for youth and non-formal education in general, by previous Youth in Action and Grundtvig, to Erasmus +, particularly with expertise in the design and coordination of the European Voluntary Service and planning projects for social and cultural companies. Particularly relevant to reality of penitentiary institutions was the Grundtvig project “Prisoners On Stage – POST” which was a European exchange between theatrical enterprises active in penitentiary institutions from Italy, France, Romania and Germany. “POST” (2012-2013) tackled the relationship between communities and their prisons. All of the project partners had an experiences on social and community theatre and aimed to implement new models of intervention, based upon experimentation. The project, in particular, aimed to transfer to local contexts a model based upon a direct dialogue between inmates, students and their families through the universal language of theatre. Thanks to its consultants in Bruxelles, ÉFA have developed the expertise to create and manage international networks for both the acknowledgment and dissemination of results.
