Fairy-Tales, Role Plays & Groupwork

Abstract

This strategy is inspired by: Case Studies, Fish-Bowl Learning, Role Plays, Using Visuals, Cooperative Learning and Group work, Group Presentations, A Guest Speaker and E-tivities. Teaching & Learning Context This strategy was in the context of our part-time, level 8, 10 ECTS flexible learning Certificate in Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy. Of the 12 contact days, two are dedicated to The Interpretation of Fairy-Tales, with a follow up zoom 90 minutes evening tutorial. The contact days consisted of guest lecturers from 11:30am – 1pm, and from 2-4pm. The Art Therapy session was from 9:30am-11:10am both days. Due to the pandemic the contact days were relocated to online. A silver lining to this was that I had the opportunity to collaborate with my wife on the Art Therapy morning, and also ‘sat in’ on the guest lecturer sessions (as I had to be the tech guy). Our class consisted of 15 mostly mature students with careers in the arts or healing professions.
