Sociodrama in group work as a means towards cross-cultural awareness development with adolescents

This study outlines and evaluates a twelve week sociodrama programme aimed at
creating cross-cultural awareness amongst adolescents. Three experimental groups
and two control groups were involved in this process.
Sociodrama is an experiential method of group work that utilises member strengths
and experiences to create "shared" or "collective" dramas or enactments. Individual
therapy is not involved. The process is "member-driven", with the director acting in
an egalitarian manner as facilitator. Once the warm-up and enactments have
occured, group members discuss the learning and exchange ideas about the
process. This includes three methods of "learning" - behavioural, cognitive and
affective.
This study confirms that sociodrama is an effective method of creating crosscultural
awareness amongst adolescents. / Social Work / M.A. (Mental Health)
