Digital & traditional animation with Anca Manolache

Think for three seconds of a story, animated or not, that shaped a bit of who you are! Animation means moving images. It is an optical illusion, almost like a magic trick done thoroughly. Animation is storytelling and empowering people to tell (their) stories using characters, imagined/real-life inspired worlds and, most importantly, their feelings and their imagination.

We will be using simple instruments like our imagination, the stories we want to put in the world, the stories we love, some objects we have around the house, a free app and a tablet.
Animation is a method that helps each of us shape the world within, but also the world outside.

EduFit - Be fit to learn better! with Cristina Palavescu

Movement is a part of what we do consciously (or not) ever since we are born and even before that. In time, as years pass, we focus more on the intellectual, spiritual or emotional activities, we take the physicality for granted – breathing, heart beating, and sleeping – or we ignore it, as we seldom do with stress or pain.
This workshop invites participants to realise that the body-mind-soul is a whole that works together and each part is equally important. Beside physical exercises and tricks to build habits, the workshop will also stress how movement supports the learning process.

Graphic facilitation with Andreea Buzec

Capturing ideas and content visually. That would explain, in a few words, graphic facilitation. The workshop invites participants to get started on building their visual vocabularies and on drawing words! Because visual always finds a way to simplify ideas and build understanding beyond words. Don't think about the pretty drawings and don't be afraid to get your hands virtually dirty: we will explore key concepts throughout multiple angles by using comprehensive and socially accepted symbols and we'll exercise the different roles that colours can have. You will gain competences and get empowered to use these tools in your own work, both digitally (using tablet) and manually!

Sociodrama with Irina Ștefănescu

Sociodrama is an action method which can accompany a group in telling its story, in understanding it better and, if appropriate, in changin it. It is useful for every group leader: teachers, youth workers, trainers, team coaches, managers, priests, mayors etc. Sociodrama is like intelligence: crystallized and fluid. For the crystallized part, once there is a "contract" with the group, you will see warm-up, enactment and sharing. For the fluid part, you can see storytelling in action, roles relationships, spontaneity, creativity, loads of individual and social learning and the power of collective intelligence.

Grow your adaptABILITY with Cristina Rigman 

We were already living in a world characterized by growing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity when the pandemic came to deepen the discomfort we experienced. Some manage to deal with the discomfort better than others; some sink in deep uncertainty while other navigate change with ease. What are the elements that make this difference? Is this natural endowment or a skill that one can develop?

In this workshop we explore a research-based model of adaptability built around 3 main dimensions: ability, character and environment. We will learn to explore individual adaptability and identify dimensions for change and growth that can make our adaptability journey faster and less painful.
