ABSTRACT:
What are the values of democracy? Respect for individuals and their right to make their own choices. Tolerance of differences and opposing ideas. Equity – valuing all people and supporting them to reach their full potential. Each person has the freedom of speech, association, movement, and freedom of belief. Are we connected to democracy in our cities, in our countries? Social traumas reflect on the values of democracy. In this sociodrama workshop, we will explore the values of Morenian sociodrama and the values of ancient Greek democracy in relation to our connection with democracy and how we can improve our world by providing a chance for a more creative global voice for freedom and social equity, in order to have a collective future.
