JobAct® – Europe Social inclusion by social arts
Tool set Social Inclusion by Social Arts
As the result of the EU project, we developed a Tool Set about the adaption of Social Art in different European projects with disadvantaged people. The Tool Set consists of 3 parts and can be downloaded in the following languages:
English
Deutsch
Francais
Italiano
Hungarian
What can you expect in the 3 parts of the Tool Set?
- Tool Set part 1 – The education principle “Social Art”
The Job Act method is an innovative method to help people in need overcome their difficult situations and find their way back in the labor market and society. In this first part of the Tool Set, we set a foundation for the adaption of social art as an education principle. The first crucial step is understanding the principle of Social Art. Second, the scientific view, based on approaches of empowerment, is presented and contrasted with our practical view of social art, to enable practitioners to understand the principle in depth and apply it. The central parameters for social art are also described: Space, time and provocation. We describe, how this principle can be used to empower persons in need and give and overview about the JobAct method that follows this aim with great success. After working through this chapter, readers shall be able to a) understand the principle and b) adapt it for their individual purposes in working with disadvantaged people. - Tool Set part 2 – Module Social Artist - Qualification, frame conditions and trouble shooting
To successfully work with the JobAct principle, trainers need specific competencies and knowledge. Thus, the aim of the second part of the tool set is to provide the crucial target group of practitioners who want to use the principle with the required skills: 1. Qualification requirements of the social artists: Practitioners who want to conduct theater projects should be able to handle difficult situations and empower people with various problems. Besides, they also need a deep understanding of art and its potentials. 2. Frame conditions: To ensure success of adapting the principle the framework has to be considered carefully. Therefore, this part provides information about the main potential obstacles and solutions to overcome them. 3. Trouble shooting: Because the approach doesn’t provide a fixed method, but techniques and skills to adapt it to specific purposes, it is possible that the users will face unexpected problems on his way. Therefore, this part shows how to solve them. - Tool Set part 3 – Getting on stage – target groups, exercises, JobAct adaptions
The third part with its own toolset is the heart of our project results and provides the reader with practical exercises in social art, recommendations on what to consider when working with different target groups. It starts with hints of how to get different groups of participants to open up to theatre methods. To enable a holistic effect of social art, we have developed a special system that reflects the respective effects of the exercises on the users, based on the experiences during the project. The division of the practical exercises in the toolset is based on the developed system. To enable broad suability, every exercise comes with an overview of their requirements, aims and restrictions. After working through this part of the Tool Set, the readers should be able to conduct theatre projects with disadvantaged persons and adapt the approach to their specific purposes.
Film
For audio-visual support of the Tool Set and for a better understanding of our project results we have created a short film that show the principle in action. Especially in a project like JobAct Europe, which works with theatre methods, the film is of great importance, because artistic processes and results cannot be presented exclusively in written form. For this reason, the film shows excerpts from our everyday project work, interviews with our partners and trainers, shows the experiences of our participants in the pilot projects and the scientific view on the topic. It gives a glimpse on the perspectives in Italy, France, Hungary and Germany. The film sheds light on our project and its results from different perspectives and gives viewers an impressive idea of how social art works in practice in its various adaptions in the different countries.
