Who can apply?

Practitioners working with children and youths: educators, therapists, psychologists, social workers, activity leaders and artists experienced in psychosocial artistic mediation techniques.  

The selection criteria is based on:

- The motivation and ability to commit to the required time needed;

- Previous or/and current field work with children and youth.

 

Which techniques will be used in this cycle:

The TTP is built around 3 parallel directive lines:

- The direct experimentation of the drama therapy technique; which allows each trainee to discover the work and experience it on a personal level;

- The practical and theoretical acquisition of the technique with a focus on the different technical and pedagogical levels involved, and the adaptation of these tools to the trainee’s personal field of work; 

- The analysis of case-studies, sharing examples of experiences from the field, and advice on safe practice; exposing the trainee to possible situations and challenges where he/she has to position him/herself in relation to the group.

 

At the end of the program, practitioners will:

- Acquire tools of story building, storytelling, body movement, voice training, creative writing and performance building, with a clear understanding of their aims in order to be able to design psychosocial interventions accordingly;

- Acquire writing skills to note and maintain a log of the psychosocial artistic mediation exercises, focusing on the “set of rules” defining each exercise;

- Acquire facilitation skills to ensure neutrality and active listening;

- Use the artistic mediation exercises’ rules to manage the group dynamic and to deal with children and youth with hyperactivity, strong leadership, introversion and difficulties of expression;

- Be able to resolve conflicts through working on the group dynamic;

- Develop the required attitude to co-lead a psychosocial intervention and to foster collective positive critical thinking around the fieldwork;

- Acquire reporting and proposals writing skills;

- Be informed about policies of international funding and the technical vocabulary related to it;
