Content:

In this module, students further develop previously acquired drama practice and drama therapy improvisation skills by teaching them—both theoretically and practically—to second-semester students. They design, implement, and evaluate structured sequences of exercises and learn to integrate feedback into their facilitation practice. Students explore selected drama therapy methods, document them systematically, and conduct literature research on their origins and mechanisms of action. In practice supervision, they present and reflect on challenging cases and deepen their self-reflection using personality models. They also document and present psychosocial casework in written and oral formats and contribute to peer feedback processes. In addition, students collaboratively plan, organize, and evaluate an interdisciplinary, international two-day student symposium.
