Resumo: The project is gathering participants that have already experienced the power of kinesthetic learning by participating in one of three international trainings that the team of trainers have provided during the last 3 years within Erasmus+ (in Poland, Estonia and Slovenia). We see it as a great value to work with the same people on the longer term (within several projects) instead of meeting them just once. This time we can focus the contents more on actual needs of participants that are related to their experiences of applying kinesthetic learning in practice and develop skills of introducing kinesthetic learning in youth work on the deeper level as well as use the potential of group to design and test some tools together.
Objectivos: Re-)connection – through various movement exercises and conversations about so far experiences with using kinesthetic learning with young people – what has been the good practices and what - the challenges. Past experience together will easily bring us to the place where we can help and inspire each other to also identify our learning needs in terms of further development in order to be able to use bodily learning more effectively in the youth work.
The process of creating a dance performance – this process will include workshops, laboratory on such themes as: creativity as a process and life style, not an objective; diversity as a resource or “Ugly is Beautiful”; my identity, self expression, Listening to the body; performing art as a form of social activism. Together we will set the structure for improvised site specific dance performance which will be shared with the local young people, youth workers and others. We will use different specific places in town during the creative process. Let’s be aware that the performance is the process, not the result. In this case – the performance will be only one part of the “whole party”. A learning tool.
Practicing with local youngsters – this is the process of training the skills to design and facilitate concrete kinesthetic learning activities to reach the learning outcomes in one of the 4 competency areas (mentioned during the dance performance). The invited local youngsters will be “a real life audience” but also the support from other participants and trainers will be there. Feedback and recommendations for improvement will be provided for each session.
Documenting the experiences from the training and coming up with concrete ideas on how to share the outcomes with wider audience of youth workers and also how to involve more young people in kinesthetic learning.
Enjoying - this process will be present all 8 days. Besides the laboratory and analyzing work, movement will be present early mornings through the “wake up” sessions where we all will share our ideas about what is the best way to get into the motion and late nights through the JAM sessions where free dancing together will allow us to continue our self reflection through movement, to build the trust towards ourselves and others, to sharpen the awareness towards myself with others.
What next? After the training every participant will be invited and asked to do some follow-up activity in own country regarding the topic, document it and share the methods and experience. It will be used to prepare a manual for other youth workers.
