  understand the importance of the action and inspiration that raises from the human it-self (down-top planning)
  encourage and support the client groups in these outgoing activities.
  understand communities as part of larger social and cultural environment. Purpose is to understand the needs, ideas and concerns of the community. The project should be endorsed by the community itself.
  adapt and use different art based and participatory methods of community animation in her work and she can support the subjectivity of a person.
  capable of analysing the changes in the community within the project.
  learn and rehearse different question based facilitation and group leading methods.
  familiarize with the history and philosophy of community animation.
  
  Theory and Methods:
  The module and contact lessons are practical in nature, and we learn by doing and reflecting.
  We will study the nature and guiding principles behind socio-cultural animation (dialogue, participatory approach, facilitation, identifying the needs and aims of different actors).
  In a team, the student will implement a community animation project with a chosen target group / or combination of target groups (e.g. children and elderly).
  The student herself will also experience a dynamic group process of socio-cultural animation. The contact learning is organised as a participatory group process.
  
  Team Projects:
  Mobile Navigation game Seppo as a tool for animation in Myllypuro area
  In the 2019 spring implementation of the module we will explore the use of a mobile phone based Finnish game platform Seppo. (See this link)
  It is a game where individuals or small groups can make tasks in a small or large-scale geographic environment by navigating to the certain locations by their mobile phones. When a player (group or individual) navigates to the location on map, the task will open and will be done. The facilitator/ leader of the game can follow the players by navigator and have an on-line chat with them during the game. We will create new creative contents on this platform with/for/about the community. This game is widely used in the Finnish schools and other communities, however it is licenced.
  
  Teams:
  We will establish teams of three students, who will develop individual projects where Seppo-game is a part of the process. Each team will implement a Community Animation project to facilitate the encounter of immigrant organisations, municipality/public sector and local associations or similar projects with other client groups and their combinations in Myllypuro area of Helsinki.
  Each project will have a specific theme. It can be connected to the history, present or the future of the area. It can have fictional frame story or it can be realistic.
  The game will be developed at least partly with the community (by/ with / for / about the community?)

  MORE INFORMATION: Drama Education is a method to help client groups to explore important issues in a safe group environment. Drama is a physical, dialogic and social art form that can also help the group to articulate and explore issues that are meaningful and important to them. In the workshop, we study how facilitators can help the group to define their individual and group learning objectives for the drama. We study also methods to build safe and productive group dynamics and how to animate and empower different client groups of social work. Drama is an integrated subject of art that can combine elements of visual expression, poetry, making movies or animations, dance and music, paper technologies etc. This helps facilitator identify the most suitable methods for different situations, groups and individuals with different skills and capacities.
  In the music workshops we look at different working methods of using music mainly through practical exercises. The workshops provide skills to use music with different client groups and introduce instrument guidance. With the help of Figurenotes anyone will be able to play music. At the end of the course we will visit Special Music Center Resonaari which has a music school for disabled people and specializes in cultural social work. Previous knowledge or skills in music are not required.

  Opintojakso suoritetaan Kelan rahoittamassa Novak-hankkeessa, joka kohdistuu alle 30 vuotiaisiin NEET -nuoriin, jotka ovat vaarassa tai jo jääneet työn tai koulutuksen ulkopuolella (Duurin, Ohjaamon ja Etsivän nuoristyön asiakkaat sekä Valma-koulutuksesta tai työpajatoiminnasta pudonneet nuoret). Tarkoituksena on kehittää Kelalle matalan kynnyksen kuntoutuspalvelu. Lisätietoa hankkeesta https://www.kela.fi/novak-nuorten-kehittämishanke
  Tämä opintojakso toteutetaan toimintaterapian ja sosiaalialan tutkintojen käytännöllisenä kokeiluna. Kaikkia sisältöjä ei ole vielä suunniteltu valmiiksi, joten opintojaksolle ilmoittautuneiden on mahdollista päästä rakentamaan sen sisältöä yhdessä opintojakson vastaavien opettajien ja hanketoimijoiden kanssa (mm. ennakko- ja päättötehtävät, arviointia jonka pohjalta opintojaksoa kehitetään ensi syksyksi).
  Käytännön toiminta ajoittuu ajalle 1.4. - 10.5.2019, jolloin nuoria ohjataan Helsingissä 10h viikossa (yhteensä 60h). Tarkemmat viikkokohtaiset ajat voidaan neuvotella opintojakson alussa. Tarkoituksena on toimia monialaisesti siten, että toimintaterapian ja sosiaalialan opiskelijat toimivat työparina yhdessä vähintään yhden nuoren kanssa. Nuorten kanssa toteuttavan toiminnan sisältö suunnitellaan yhdessä nuoren kanssa ja suunnitelmista keskustellaan hankkeessa toimivien valmentajien kanssa. Valmentajat ja opettajat ovat tukena toteutuksessa. Nuoria koskeva kehittämisosaamisen painottuu mm. osallistavaan toimintaan, jossa keskiössä on syrjäytymisen ehkäisy, tavoitteellinen ja mielekäs toiminta yhteiskunnassa sekä yhteistoiminnallisten lähestymistapojen kehittäminen sekä asiakastyöhön että monialaiseen verkostotoimintaan.
