PLAYBACK THEATRE for the prevention of emotional burnout in youth work

WHAT IS PLAYBACK?

Playback Theatre is an original form of improvisational theatre, based on emotional expression and play of the personal stories, where the participants can share their emotions and tell their personal stories as well as enact (play back) the emotions and personal stories of others.

Playback Theatre is spontaneous – it is theatre created through a unique collaboration between performers and audience that allows self-disclosure and self-expression in a safe environment, that builds connection, dialogue, and change. Volunteers from the audience tell personal stories from their lives during a performance, guided by the conductor, then choose actors to play the different roles and watch as their story is immediately recreated and given artistic shape and coherence.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

During the first part of the training, with the help of the Playback method and tools, we are going to work with the prevention of emotional burnout of youth workers. During the second part of the training, we are going to deliver the method and tools of the Playback to the youth workers in order for them to apply it in their follow up youth work with their target groups and local communities. During the third part of the training, the youth workers will create and develop their own local projects/ideas/initiatives aimed at work with their local communities with the help of the Playback method and tools.
