In the first part, the participants learn about the 4K method. 4K (Cards for Kumu Contemporary Art) is a method developed by the Kumu Education Centre. It is based on questions that encourage discussion and help visitors connect with the artworks. Through discussion, it is possible to bring forward different opinions and analyse them. This method is easy to learn and use in teaching contemporary art to various age groups.

The second part of the workshop focuses on methods that help to find and create common ground among the participants, for example group work, sociometric exercises, open and directed discussion, work analysis, and VTS. These methods help to create a sense of belonging and focus on similarities rather than differences.

This event is a part of the project educational course. Learn more about the course here.

Sociometry is a set of methods created by J. L. Moreno (1934) to study the interpersonal connections of individuals and groups of all sizes. Sociometry provides opportunities for the improved interpersonal and group dynamics by making existing dynamics manifest to the people involved in the group. Through action methods in the context of live groups, it provides qualitative and quantitative opportunities for improving interpersonal dynamics by making latent dynamics manifest to the people involved. Sociometry is used to understand the relationships in an individual s life, or the relationships among individuals and groups of all sizes, extending even to international and global relationship.

The aim of the training is to introduce the possibilities of using the method in increasing the cohesiveness of groups.
