DGfT Working Groups

The DGfT working groups meet regularly to discuss specific topics and to plan activities and projects. There are currently 4 working groups.

If you are interested in setting up a working group yourself, please contact us.

Working Group Climate

The Working Group on Climate deals with how drama therapy and drama therapy expertise can be used to deal with the climate crisis and become effective for a sustainable future. Meetings take place online every one to two months. Interested parties are welcome to register on the invitation list

Working Group Decolonization & Diversity

The Decolonisation Working Group was founded in 2022 and is primarily a space for exchange on the effects of structural power relations and mechanisms of oppression on the therapeutic space. By dealing with social structures and the different groups within them, especially marginalized and discriminated groups, we want to create more awareness of the associated diversity of individual experiences.

Working Group Drama, Therapy & Disability

The working group was newly established in 2023. We work with people with cognitive impairments and multiple other disabilities/developmental delays in the field of drama therapy/education. In doing so, we are trying to fill a gap, as there are currently virtually no adequate psychotherapeutic services for adults with disabilities.

Working Group Research

“Researching…as if”
We are interested and committed people who love drama therapy. We have set ourselves the goal of making theater therapy better known. Above all, we want to help practicing therapists to publish the results of their work and to continue researching our medium. This is the only way we can achieve recognition in the public discourse.
