SOCIODRAMATIC APPROACH TO MINORITY PROBLEMS

Abstract

Moreno: I would like first to give you the historical background to the kind of work which we are doing. To do this we must go back 3 2 years. It was around 1911 when I, with a number of boys and girls in the gardens of Vienna, started a sort of movement among children, a crusade of children against adults, the machine age and all its implications. These children began to play in these gardens all kinds of social roles, taking the roles of parents, of teachers, continuing in a way what children all do when they are 2 or 3 years old, until they were stopped by their teachers because it did not seem to be the right thing to do to continue the kindergarten principle right into school.
