Wykorzystanie metody dramy w profilaktyce zachowań ryzykownych młodzieży gimnazjalnej
Using drama to prevent risky behaviours among middle school students

Summary/Abstract: The Theatre in Education programmes directly develop individual resources of young people by shaping, particularly, their ability to take responsible decisions, their belief in self-efficacy, their self-control mechanisms and their communication. These programmes make it possible to safely raise difficult subjects in a way that young people can find attractive. Using a show element, we can present a specific but also universal and credible story, embed the characters in the reality of life, show their problems, and then look for solutions along with the participants. This formula by handing the self-agency over to them, helps young people make decisions. Whereas, taking responsibility for their decisions, makes it possible for the participants to experience the programmes more deeply and consequently, to understand them better. The article describes the “Drama Therapy as a Method for a Safe Middle School Student” project which is co-financed by the Ministry of National Education, as well as the results of the survey carried out during the project.
