Sociodrama*
Sociodrama is a group experiential method, applied for the emergence and reformation of possible conflicts between social groups. Through this group process, the participants have a deep view into the social systems and the influence to their lives-as individuals and part of different social groups- and the relationship between their personal and social roles. In Sociodrama, the protagonist is the group which works for its benefit, by extension for the sake of society.
