From Morenean social atom to eco-atom and other concepts: sociodramatic innovations in ecological education and awareness building—mixing facts and fiction
摘要
This article in the journal Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie presents over sixty environmental seminars by Partanen-Hertell since 1995. From 2000 onwards the focus in the seminars is on ecological and climate change. These seminars deploy action methods in the mixing facts and fiction-process. Research-based information within broad spatial and temporal frameworks deepens participants’ understanding of the ecological web’s complexity and interdependence. It enables fostering their commitment to responsible action for sustainable living. The seminars also integrate novel concepts and tools–such as eco-atom, eco-web, circles of identity and relationmetry. Creative action methods support learning for coping with systemic ecological and climate change and help embed ecological perspectives into participants’ worldviews.
