ABSTRACT:

Aim: To explore the frustrations that create intergroup conflict in the group’s collective subconscious and to find out the potentials in the collective subconscious between groups to reduce the feeling of frustration and develop cooperation.

Background: The Middle East is going through a difficult period, especially in the last few decades, with increased intergroup tensions. While negative experiences negatively affect the potential for future generations of different groups to come together, it is everyone’s common responsibility to preserve the feeling of living together for the formation of a more peaceful world that Moreno dreams of.

In addition to addressing intergroup relations with Moreno’s sociometry and sociodrama approach, synthesising Jung’s collective unconscious and shadow concepts with sociodrama offers important opportunities in understanding conflict and resolution.

Learning objectives of the workshop:
Participants,
1. They will experience the interaction of positive, negative or natural roles of different groups in the Middle East.
2. In sharing experiences, it will be expressed what increases the possibility of conflict and what facilitates the possibility of cooperation.
3. Finally, prominent collective elements will be determined and alternative solutions will be experienced on stage.
