ABSTRACT:
When a community or organisation creates its future, this means active, coordinated, conscientious change. As sociodramatists, we can help communities to imagine and enact a shared vision. What happens next, when people want to act, to transform that shared vision into reality? There is energy, there is will. But how much systemic view is there? How much grace is there for the other members’ actions for change? Often, people can’t see the wood for the trees.
Using sociodrama, we can explore what happens when changes occur in parallel, in various areas of the community’s system and how they can happen synergetically, without competing. To help build a healthy community capacity, we may accompany those members to increase their systemic awareness of the other changes. Thus, the community does not rely only on its leaders, but also on mentally flexible members who are awake, willful and gracious, working together, more collaborative and less conflictual.
By the end of the workshop, the participants have experienced:
- mapping the system of the changes in a community: actors, actions, stakeholders
- eliciting and concretising the forces shaping those changes
- ways of intervening when there is much energy for changes
