THE SKILLS
MEDIATION
Students will learn to accept, debate, negotiate and respect others’ opinions
and points of view. They will acquire the ability to coexist with differences by
compromising and assimilating opposite views politely.
CONCEPTUAL
Students will tune up their sensitivity and awareness towards discovering
practical and informal paths to solving conflicts and problems fairly.
CONTEXTUAL
Students will develop the skill to process new information and
understand it within their own terms of reference, and in accordance
with their own previous experiences.
SOCIAL
Students will increase their ability to interpret situations taking into account
how they can affect third parties, evaluating their effects, causes and their
consequences, becoming aware of the existence of the moral dilemma.
JUDGEMENT
The ability to discern which actions could be justified in the moral sense.
MORAL MOTIVATION-CONFIGURATION OF IDENTITY
The degree of commitment to adopt a certain procedure, giving prevalence to
moral values above others and subsequently assuming responsibility for
consequences.
MORAL CHARACTER
To persist until the end with courage and resilience in a moral commitment.
DRAMATIC FORM
Students will learn to discern and associate art, ludical and oneiric
languages in order to increase their aesthetic sensibility.
PROCESS DRAMA
Process drama is a dynamic teaching methodology in which the teacher and
the students work together to create an imaginary dramatic world and work
within it to explore a particular problem, situation, theme, or series of related
topics, not for a separate audience, but for the benefit of the participants
themselves.
FORUM THEATER
Forum theater begins with the crafting and performance of a short play that
dramatizes real situations faced by the participants and that ends with the
protagonist(s) being oppressed. After the first performance, the play or scene
is repeated with one crucial difference: the spectators become “spect-actors”
and can at any point yell “freeze” and take the place of an actor to attempt to
transform the outcome. Forum theater is an exercise in democracy in which
anyone can speak and anyone can act.
PLAYBACK THEATER
In a Playback event, someone in the audience tells a moment or story from
their life, chooses the actors to play the different roles, and then all those
present watch the enactment, as the story "comes to life" with artistic shape
and nuance. Actors draw on non-naturalistic styles to convey meaning, such
as metaphor or song.
THE EXPERT’S VOICES
“Act in order to transform.”
Paulo Freire
“Theater acts as a safe haven where “make believe” offers a sense of safety, while reality
and its dangers are suspended, therefore empowering creative understanding;
Something vital for problem solving and conflict resolution.”
Sylvia Motta
“Of all the arts, drama involves the participant the most fully: intellectually, emotionally,
physically, verbally, and socially. As players, children assume the roles of others, and
they learn about becoming more sensitive to the problems and values of persons
different from themselves. At the same time, they are learning to work cooperatively, for
drama is a communal art; each person is necessary to the whole.”
Nellie McCaslin
Creative Drama in the Classroom and Beyond
“Researchers in the fields of psychology and neuroscience have demonstrated that, when
strong emotions are experienced, the events associated with these emotions will be more
accurately and readily remembered than more emotionally neutral experiences.”
Berry, Schmied & Schrock, 2008; Buchanan
“Drama is holistic in its educative effect. As a unity of imaginative thought and dramatic
action, it produces positive changes that transform the way we think, the way we learn
and feel, and our moral and ethical attitudes, and it can result in a change of
consciousness.”
Richard Courtney
“We can use drama to create active and realistic models of human behavior experienced
at first hand within classroom, to explore safely how people behave in any human
context, within or beyond the children’s real experience, all over the world and through
history.”
John O’toole and Julie Dunn
“Role playing fosters insight into different perspectives and promotes genuine open
mindedness, discourages hasty and superficial problem examination, facilitates
construction of more fully elaborated-and frequently novel-problem models, discourages
belief rigidity, encourages cognitive and personal flexibility, practices persistent probing,
engaged examination of an issue in alternation with flexible relinquishment and
reflective distance.”
John Saldaña
“Learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally
organized, specifically human psychological function.” Lev
Vygotsky
