HALK EĞİTİMİNDE “FORUM TİYATRO” YÖNTEMLERİNİN KULLANILMASI

In contrast to the rapid technological developments, living conditions and social changes, the formal education can be inadequate in the course of time. This inadequacy heads the working people to be in search of an alternative education, especially in the adult education. Lifelong education, public learning, continuing education and some other concepts like these are the new learning fields intended to be realised for the adults who did not finish or could not finish their normal education process, excluding the formal education. The share point of these educational fields is to equip the adults of every age who did not have the normal education process with the knowledge and skills that would facilitate their lives in respect of the needs of the progressive age. At this point the activities which would be held in the centres providing education (except the formal education institutions), such as public learning centres and social centres acquire importance. Through the Forum Theatre trainings the societies start the educational process by internalising the universal concepts such as democracy and human rights. Modern people have the power to use their rights, to respect to other people’s rights, of critical consciousness, thinking and expressing and being able to express their thoughts. Forum Theatre gives the opportunity to its spectators. Within the context of this study the adult education through “Forum Theatre” would be explained by giving some examples and a questionnaire drawn up in the social centres on the effectiveness of this education and its results would be evaluated.
