City of Sydney RSL, Sydney, NSW- Tuesday 30th June 2020
If you go to God google you will find heaps of activities, ice-breakers and group games that you can use in the groups you run. Some of them are pretty darn good. But if you want your activities to hit the mark every time (or most of the time for most of the participants) then devising your own will give them a freshness and relevance that no shop-bought item can deliver. So we will look at producing your own strategies and activities made specifically -for your workshop and your participants’: Physical, conversational, ‘theatrical’ (with a small ‘t’), reflective, image-based including use of still image, photos and video.
We will also, with no need at all for any technical know-how, go through ways of creating your own audio-visual resources; at a low or no cost.
We’ll take a look at:

Facilitator: Peter Slattery
Peter has worked with individuals, families and communities for over 30 years. He lives in Sydney, but works throughout Australia as well as Asia, Europe and North America. He has written 'Youth works’ and produced the training DVD 'Conversations with young people', and most recently the group work resource ‘THOUGHTPICS’. He strives constantly to find or develop new, exciting and ever more useful ways of helping people explore what troubles or inspires them. In this quest, he calls on anything that might be helpful; physical movement, theatre, storytelling, drawing, what might be called ‘humour’ and really, anything at all that might add something to this process. Peter says "what a totally challenging joy all of this is"!
