Facilitator: Rosemary Sweeney
This workshop aimed to achieve an individual
understanding of social justice through a group drama workshop. By looking
briefly at forum theatre and also group dynamics through the ideas of community
and working together. Participants will have increased understanding of power
relationships, develop an ability to stand up and use their voice and
be motivated to participate and be part of change.
Reflections from participants:
•
It has made a strong identifiable
connection between global issues and people.
•
It helps me to think of how we are
responsible in different situations by our actions whether good or bad and most
importantly how we as global citizens have the power to make a change.
•
It has encourage me to be opened to
things I am afraid of
•
It helped to think about and discuss
about important topics without realising and by just 'playing'
•
The experience will help me in my
work. Working in an international group always pushes the limits of
communications and connections
•
Now I see by trying to see other
peoples situation, I can understand more and help find a solution.
- How simple the exercises were and how clear the conclusions and messages were. I think even though they are huge issues, it's easy to see where the problem lies.
I would do this course Again .. There was so much Learning...
