ABSTRACT:
During the PERFORMERS international sociodrama project, which took place from 2016 to 2021 under the auspices of the Hungarian Psychodrama Association, a distinct sociodrama methodology was developed in collaboration with institutions dedicated to serving disadvantaged children and youth. Since 2022, we have continually refined and disseminated this approach in various settings, including schools, children’s care homes, correctional facilities, family shelters, and educational support centers. This methodology represents a unified, trauma-informed group approach that integrates elements from sociodrama and child psychodrama, tailored to the specific needs and contexts of each institution.
In 2022, our team transitioned to the Scope Working Group (known as Hatókör Műhely in Hungarian), evolving into an independent, interdisciplinary collective of Hungarian professionals utilizing sociodrama to positively impact institutions and to create a safe and supportive atmosphere within educational, social care and child care settings.
During our sessions, participants will gain firsthand experience with our child-sociodrama method, witnessing how we facilitate group dynamics and cultivate an environment conducive to fostering the holistic growth of vulnerable young people.
