TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Andrej D
Yes, and... was an 8-day training course which aimed to introduce and explore principles of “improvisation” and experiment with practical and fun tools and techniques that can be readily used in daily life, creative work and in the other situations and places too.
We learned how to jump into the unknown and to respond properly to the needs of the diverse people and situations we are working with.
The training was designed for youth workers, volunteers, activists, trainers and other people who work with people, that want to refresh their skills and attitudes to their days, to other people, to work and to the world.
25 participants from the following countries:
France, Spain, Latvia, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Romania and Macedonia.
We were exploring the principles and techniques of various improvisation-based methodologies. From theatre improvisation and contact improvisation activities, going into more subtler improvisation with rhythm, music and dance, closing with creative storytelling.
The dramaturgy of the program, the red line connecting above mentioned activities, was developed around the U theory of Otto Sharmer. It will guide us through a process that helps break through past unproductive patterns of behavior.
