This week I was in Budapest for the last meeting of PERFORMERS 2 project (ERASMUS+). A Sociodrama project of some european projects: Hungary, Portugal, Sweden, UK. From Portugal, Sweden and Hungary, there participated also social partners as a NGO, NÓS Association (that supports disabled children, young people and adults, in Barreiro, Portugal), a school (that receives young refugees, in Stockholm, Sweden) and a youth detention center (Budapest, Hungary). The Federation of European Psychodrama Training Organizations (FEPTO) was also a partner, with a multinational team, that enriched also this for five years lasting process. The same with Greece that participated also in the first PERFORMERS through a NGO, which works with refugees. This was a great project of sharing and learning Sociodrama across Europe.
I'm feeling very grateful of beeing part of this extrordinary collective trajectory of learning in which we could experience how Sociodrama helps people to express themselves, to support each other, to cooperate and work together, despite all the different cultural backgrounds. This was a very important part of life in these last years. My heart is feeling cherished.
This was a very fruitful work: one international book about sociodrama; three booklets about the implementation of sociodrama in the local organizations; and this marvelous network of cooperation between sociodramadists across Europe.
Thank you very much
