Mantle of the Expert Approach and Curriculum: “A Productive Tension”
Dr. Zeki Özen
Date/Time: Saturday, June 18, 09:00-11:00 UTC (duration: 3 hours)
“I am not interested in conflict because conflict creates stagnation, but a productive tension takes you directly into the problem.” Dorothy Heathcote
Dorothy Heathcote's approaches, based on valuable experience, are in line with the aim of “raising people for the world.” There have been approaches that put people in the center. Heathcote, who does not hesitate to question the situations that exist in real life, has tried to ensure that students become sensitive, self-confident and responsive individuals in social contexts.
Heathcote’s “The Mantle of the Expert" is a drama approach at the center of this workshop. Participants will learn through active participation in a theoretical and practical way. During this session, the participants will work to structure an institution by taking the role of an expert. They will try to collaboratively solve the problems faced by this institution with task-oriented studies (writing, drawing, design, etc.). At the end of the process, the participants will have a working knowledge about the philosophy and planning of Heathcote’s signature strategy.
