WORKSHOPS
Method
The workshop consists of power point presentation, whole group and small group discussion, interactive exercises designed to put the learner in the center of the experience. We use art, music, role playing and actual practice in discussion leading, using excerpts from literature to practice and percet the HEROES method. Having completed the Workshop, participants will immediately be able to use the method in their own classrooms.
Participants read and analyze a portion of literature and learn how to extract the vital content from it by posing specific questions about the hero, his traits, decisions, successes or failures. Discussion moves from the story to the larger society and to the participants themselves, clarifying the issues that pervade our daily lives. The hero's quest and situation is analogous to every individual's journey through life. With the focus on basic needs, values and decision making, the student sees that every individual can make choices that promote positive (or negative) results for himself and for society.
