PLOT for the training of educational staff

The laboratories begin again Weft, a method that uses the theater for professional training, created by the IRPPS researcher Tiziana Tesauro with director Francesco Campanile.

The meetings that start on 10 November 2023 in the council chamber of the Municipality of Fisciano are part of the project "Things Never Done” funded by the European Union as part of the NexGenerationEU: a strategic alliance between institutions and the third sector for combat educational poverty. The 15 appointments that will continue until the end of March are aimed, in fact, at teachers and social workers.

As reviewed in Theater and professional training: The Trame method, published by Tesauro for the British Journal of Social Work, Trame's method is based on a reflection that interweaves theories onlearning as a situated and collective activity (according to which knowledge is the fruit of the subject's relationships with the context and with its members) with pedagogical approaches that thematize the theater as an educational device: subjects who act as if they were actually in a given situation develop skills that they can then transfer into practice.

In this way, Trame is configured as a method that aims to train knowledge of the body for develop self-awareness and reflexivity about one's actions in those professions that have relationships and care at the center and which over time has been aimed initially at doctors, nurses and social workers and now at teachers and social workers.
