The results of the research were presented in a meeting held in Florence in 24th of February. At the meeting, specific training modules on the psychodrama tools used in adult education, were derived connected to existing problems and difficulties in training process. From the reports drafted by the adult educators, it was found that 90% of them use experiential methods in their courses. However, only 33% of educators know

about the applications of psychodrama in education. The most highly valued quality of experiential techniques, are that of motivating and involving students and promoting independence in learning.

methods

of psychodrama.

training techniques are used in the implementation of VET training programmes in consortium countries and it also aim to qualify the actual needs of adults educators in order to apply in their educational seminars psychodramatic techniques. The collected data was used to provide reliable information to develop a proficient curriculum.

Experts in adult education and certified psychodramatists in each participating country, have been interviewed in order to enrich the existing data for qualifications and skills required for the successful application of psychodrama in adult training programs.

From the reports drafted by the adult educators, it was found that 90% of them use experiential methods in their courses and that often the classical frontal methods are not sufficient for developing efficacious, comprehensive lessons for adults. The most highly valued quality of these methods was that of motivating and involving students, and promoting independence in learning.

Within this context, the psychodramatic techniques, which are valid for improving collaboration among students, and motivating and developing their creativity, seem to be used with considerable benefits for enhancing the educators' abilities and the teaching method while also helping to overcome the most recurrent problems in classes of adult students.
