PEACE - Power Exchange through acting interCultural Experience
The main goal of the project is to contribute to the understanding of cultural differences in European countries (with a
special focus on Eastern European countries), especially on non-verbal communication, and remove communication
barriers in direct intercultural interaction. This interaction will take place in workshops where intercultural differences
can be explored, discussed and solutions for conflicts and misunderstandings can be developed.
The main resources in our project for gathering information about the different cultures in the historic archetypal
knowledge we find in fairytales, myths, legends and sagas of the respective countries. To access this knowledge learner
will be shown how to use drama methods such as the Galli Method and the psychodrama to discover cultural specifics in
a creative way. The knowledge gained through the process will then be shared in public performances, workshops and
conferences with a culturally mixed audience of learners such as teachers, social workers, distance students, seniors, the
unemployed, and the broad local community. In the process, a communication of friendship between citizens of the
participating countries will be developed.
Within the dissemination activities there will be published articles, designed new syllabi for intercultural communication
and a new methodology for teaching intercultural sensitivity will be elaborated and applied. As a project result a DVD
will be produced that shows cultural specifics based on mythological aspects in an artistic way.
