In our self-awareness workshops for educators, we facilitate an active and application-oriented examination of the topic of diversity. Experience with your own body and all your senses how it is possible to move blindly, to orientate yourself and to dance together. Understand what it means to trust each other and to break down one's own limits, prejudices or inhibitions about disabilities. Gain valuable impulses for their own teaching to strengthen class community, empathy and trust, as well as to stimulate embodied understanding (embodiment) and discourse around diversity.
In order to be able to deliver our content during the current physical limitations, we have developed an online format for Dancing Diversity. The aim in creating the online format was to ensure that all the experiences of the physical workshop could also be experienced online. We are very happy to be able to offer workshops during the pandemic and look forward to Dancing Diversity - Online in April 2021.
In short, this workshop offers:
-
Personal sensitization regarding meeting and communicating with blind or visually impaired people.
-
Inspiration for your own teaching on the topic of disability/diversity and teambuilding/trust/empathy
-
Experiencing rhythm and dance as non-verbal and connecting means of communication
This workshop includes two dates to facilitate sustainable learning and to guide and support participants* in implementing it in the classroom. The first session offers a variety of application-oriented exercises, as well as space for exchange of experiences and reflection. In the second session, the focus is on reflection on the implementation of what has been learned in one's own class and on learning from each other. In addition, there are new, concrete and practice-oriented exercises that are transferable to your own classroom.
