ZAMEK Culture Centre

During this training course ZAMEK Culture Centre in Poznań will share with the participants of the TC their approach which was developed as part of the EDUSOC project. This approach is a combination of the WenDo method (preventing violence against women) and Nordoff Robbins' music therapy. The training will be led by Dominika Dopierała and Magda Szewciów.

During the music therapy workshop, participants will join in collaborative music making. Regardless of their musical experience, each person will be invited to play in the way that suits them best. WenDo is a workshop for women and girls of all ages, regardless of their level of fitness. WenDo is a method which teaches how to stop feeling helpless and defenceless in any situation: in public, on the street, at work, at home. It also teaches how to react to violence. It strengthens self-confidence and self-esteem. It helps to solve conflicts, overcome stereotypes and fears, feelings of guilt and shame.

From these two methods a combination has been created – created by women for women.

The activities will include:

1. Musical experience with instruments - exploring their sounds in free improvisation,

2. Screaming practice,

3. Assertiveness exercises,

4. Relaxation visualization,

5. Working with occupying and clearly defining one's physical space.
