ABSTRACT:
WORKSHOP:
The workshop offers a view on sociodrama techniques applied in the context of social work with migrant communities. This method is used to foster social learning, mental health and interven-tions to provide young migrants an opportunity to gain insight into the obstacles and widen the repertoire of strategies when building their future in their new home country.
Theoretical background: Youth immigrants and their poorly structured families suffer a kind of personality disorder with a lack of mentalization abilities, lack of mental health attention and severe difficulties to become integrated into social and work structures. The best way to address this situation is through Specific Social Structures for them, that includes social learning and education, group sociodramatic interventions, support in work training and work searching and psychodramatic mental health assistance.
Methodology: Sociodrama , Psychodrama, Mentalization, Group for Social Active Learning
Learning objectives:
- Participants gain an understanding of the psycho-social background of working with migrant youth entering the labor market
- Participants try different sociodramatic and mentalization techniques they can use in their practices with migrant groups
PRESENTATION
The proposal contains presentations of projects from Spain and Hungary on how sociodrama and action methods can be effective tools in supporting marginalized youth when they enter the labor market. These share similar target groups (young migrants), and involve professionals in supporting roles (social workers, educators, psychologists). These groups’ social, economic or cultural backgrounds mean that they face multiple obstacles when aiming to get jobs and reach independence. The application of sociodramatic techniques fosters the identifying of such obstacles and experimenting with new strategies in work-related and family environments, supporting them to reach a higher level of independence, allowing them to create a new future for themselves.
