European Bridges
To Educate on Human Trafficking
Educational and artistic activity on human trafficking developed with students from Spain, France, Italy and Portugal.
The origins: the play Homeless as Phase 1
Homeless is a theatre production created by José Luis Sánchez, university professor, playwright and musician.
The performance addresses themes such as homelessness, vulnerability, migration and human trafficking, using artistic language to make visible realities that are often ignored.
The play demonstrated the educational value of the performing arts with adolescents and in raising public awareness, laying the conceptual foundations of the European project European Bridges to Educate on Human Trafficking.
Evolution towards
Phase 2:
A European educational initiative
Building on its impact and artistic experience, the project has now entered Phase 2, becoming European Bridges to Educate on Human Trafficking, an expanded initiative with a strong and structured educational dimension.
In this new phase, the project integrates: the artistic approach, the experience developed in Homeless, and an educational framework designed to engage students, teachers, professionals and communities from different European countries in a deeper understanding of human trafficking and its structural causes.
Bridges to Health and Rights (B2H&R)
In Phase 2, the NGO Bridges to Health and Rights (B2H&R) participates as an associated entity in the development of European Bridges to Educate on Human Trafficking, contributing its expertise in violence prevention and sexual well-being.
The collaboration, strengthened by the academic and professional background of Isotta Rossoni, guarantees educational content grounded in research, professional practice and human rights.
In this way, the project combines artistic creation and rigorous education, consolidating itself as a multidisciplinary European initiative for awareness-raising and prevention of human trafficking.
Education for young people
The educational programme focuses on vulnerabilities that may facilitate situations of exploitation. It is delivered through 10 teaching units based on active methodologies, aligned with European Union guidelines, such as the analysis of real cases, collaborative work, guided debate and critical reflection.
With an estimated territorial reach of around 80 cities, the programme combines educational action with community-based work across diverse European contexts. Educational content is developed in collaboration with the ACCEM, Foundation, which specialises in tackling social exclusion and preventing human trafficking and other forms of exploitation, bringing first-hand expertise in social intervention.
Bridges of prevention and collaboration
European Bridges builds bridges of prevention, awareness and collaboration against human trafficking through art, education and collaborative work across 12 countries and 80 cities.
Europe and beyond
Bridges to Health and Rights promotes contact between educational institutions in four European countries and schools in eight countries of origin with a high incidence of trafficking: Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Angola, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Cameroon. Through these exchanges, students share real and contextualised information about trafficking cases linked to false job offers, fostering dialogue between young people from countries of origin and destination.
This approach contributes to prevention and helps to identify risk situations.
