Key competences: teamwork competence, perception of self and others, intercultural competence.
In East Asian martial arts, but also creative arts such as flower arranging or tea cult, form (jap. kata)
plays a decisive role: Practitioners learn how to grasp the substance and free themselves from their
restricted self-perceptions and self-experiences while respecting fixed, prescribed forms of actions.
Participants will study a Judo kata (no previous knowledge of Judo required) under direction and perform
it to get credit points. Other options (e.g., Karate kata, tea ceremony etc.) can be arranged with the
instructors. Practice will be complemented by theoretical aspects of kata. Active, regular participation in
practice at the gym is required.

Trainings for sensitization concerning the perception of the self and the other are based on a well
elaborated canon of exercises coming from different schools: Gestalt, NLP, client-centered
communication, applied group dynamics, systemic etc. approaches. Normally the trainings apply the
following pattern: input by trainers, carrying out of the exercises with structured interventions, reflection
of the process in single-, pair-, group- and/or plenum-work. This seminar experiments with a completely
different setting: The participants will be provided with exercises in digital form (hypertexts, videos,
check-lists etc.). Working in self-organization they transform this input into individual forms of training.
The seminar is based on a BMBF-supported project that analyzes and develops media supported training
of communicational soft skills.
