Methods

The workshop applies methods of corporate theatre and psychodrama. The methods involve creating spectacles, which are opportunities to develop professional skills of participants. The methods imply experiential learning (learning through experience, sometimes defined as "learning through reflection on doing"). It requires the courage to experiment with expression and imagination to find innovative solutions. The methods can be a challenge because they need going beyond stereotypes of thinking and acting. We will exercise creative problem solving, distributing tasks, motivating each other, planning and organising events. The methods engage and reveal personal and individual skills, unleash unique talents, show how to create a high-performance culture through inspirational engagement and to build group confidence.

Five sessions are scheduled. At the beginning of each meeting, the teacher determines tasks to be solved surprisingly. While searching for solutions, participants should make use of their knowledge and skills they acquired during the basic course. First, the participants will prepare presentations in small groups. Their members will be responsible for the performance of each other. The coach and participants will share their feedback. Finally, the best ideas will be presented (by volunteers) at an open show (attendance is not mandatory, although the performance is not). A significant amount of time will be scheduled for practising without the coach and for individual consultations with him.

The course gives 3 ECTS. It requires you focus and engagement. You should read the mandatory literature before the course and practice after sessions every day. It is indeed time and energy consuming.
