Le pratiche teatrali nella formazione degli operatori sociali per costruire relazioni di ben-essere

The contribution describes and analyzes a theatrical experience of the oppressed organized in the University environment and uses it as a pretext to reason / ponder on the close link that exists between the psychosocial well-being of social workers, their professional training and the techniques of social theater. The text underlines the circularity between experiential knowledge and theoretical knowledge in a frame that promotes theater as a space of potential and awareness. In this space, social workers can experience the possibility of managing their power and exploring the conflicts that emerge in the helping relationship to restore well-being to themselves and to the people received in the services. Finally, the conclusions solicit questions and reflections that aim to underline the importance of training social workers in the construction of social policies that start from communities and transmit relationships of interdependence and, at the same time, aim at the emancipation of use.
