Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with one of the methods of applied drama under the guidance of a foreign lecturer. In the autumn semester 2024, under the guidance of Austrian lecturer Magoa Hanke, we will participate in a workshop on topic "Potential of Shadow Theatre and Theatre of the Oppressed Methods for Working with Target Groups in Social Pedagogy with Respect to a Trauma-Awareness Approach" Shadow theatre and Theatre of the Oppressed methods offer significant potential for engaging target groups in social pedagogy, particularly when integrated with a trauma-awareness approach. Both techniques create safe and creative spaces for self-expression, which are essential in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. Both methods support the principles of trauma-awareness by fostering empowerment, creating safety, building trust, and encouraging gradual exposure to challenging emotions or experiences. These techniques help participants develop resilience, communication skills, and a stronger sense of community, making them highly effective for social pedagogical work with vulnerable groups.

After completing the course the student.:
will be able to describe and explain the selected method of applied drama
