Play and the Expressive Arts هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

A unique opportunity, using the creative arts therapies to explore creative and non-verbal ways to engage and relate creatively with clients of all ages. Relationships will improve as you find new ways to facilitate true communication and meaningful contact. Each day we use a different creative, therapeutic approach, with fully qualified practitioners, to journey into your inner world to access, and liberate, your own creative core. We will experience dance, movement, music, art, drama, and interactive play.

This course is designed to introduce you to the creative arts in an experiential way. You will leave with a ‘tool-kit’ of skills and an awareness of the creative arts that will enable you to engage with clients of all ages in new and innovative ways rather than relying on spoken language. Deeper relationships will almost certainly ensue as communication skills become more developed and understanding grows. This will be of particular value to those who work with children and young people, traumatised adults, and clients with special needs. Resistant clients, including disengaged youth, respond well to these media.

This is an eclectic, experiential training with a focus on personal development, skills development, and a heightened awareness of the impact of creative approaches. It serves as a particularly useful course for anyone interested in training in any of the creative mediums involved, or in psychotherapy in general, or as continuing professional development for a range of professionals. We will utilise a range of teaching mediums including the use of creative media and experiential work. The workshop is suitable for all who work with children, young people, families and adults. It runs every July for the week next to a Summer School to facilitate those who wish to attend a block of training. Certificates of attendance are presented to each participant.
