Bibliodrama in adult education

Vom 19. bis 21. Mai fand in Cracow ein Grundvig- Seminar zu Bibliodrama statt. Dieses von der EU unterstützte Seminar zeigte die Möglichkeiten mit Bibliodrama und seinen damit verbundenen Techniken, Traditionen, Glauben, Kulturen, Humanismus, zu einem interkulturellen Verstehen verschiedener Denkweisen beizutragen.

A conference and a life experience...

The BASICS project has been developing an approach to understanding diversification and familiarity in beliefs and faiths.

This approach, a curriculum based on the experiential learning tool called Bibliodrama, is now ready to be introduced to the world, and there is no better host than the beautiful and ancient city of Cracow. 

With its rich history of dynasties, religions, communities and politics, few places so perfectly encompass the ideals of the project, and from the 19th to the 21st of May, 2013, you will be able to experience the BASICS project in the rich tradition of the city.

Attendees will:

- acquire key skills in intercultural competences

- acquire relevant skills in interpersonal and intercultural communication for adults

- discover artistic and creative methods which facilitate the development of tolerance and understanding

- acquire resources helpful for generating ideas by a group or individual

The conference will include workshops, debates and presentations from experts in bibliodrama, and the developers of the BASICS methodologies.

This combination of approaches is designed to create an experiential learning environment, in which layers of abstraction are removed to present you with the most raw and uncoloured presentation possible.

You will see a plethora of examples of how these methodologies have been implemented, and by watching the natural development of individual classes and scenarios, you will also have the opportunity to envisage their own special use cases.

As an important part of the educational experience, the conference will also involve a brief evaluation session, addressing both the learning outcomes as well as the overall quality of presentation.
