Abstract
Trust is crucial when creating spaces for inter-generational learning and socially engaged art making. Trust is crucial when we work collaboratively with young people, students, adults and seniors. Trust is particularly important when our shared work confronts systems of power, oppression and inequity. This participatory workshop will focus on techniques for building trust and raising consciousness in an inter-generational learning environment inside and outside of an institutional context. Participants will be guided through a series of Theater of the Oppressed activities, engage in collaborative drawing and writing, and learn techniques for peer mediation and conflict resolution. Meeting people half way, working cooperatively, allowing for projects to develop over long periods of time, and taking time to reflect and evaluate with participants are all central elements in socially engaged art and pedagogy. In order to achieve these goals we need to build trust.
