Co-Health with the theater

Co-Health is a two-year Action Research project in the area of healthcare supported by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Torino (Savings Bank Turin Foundation). The project aims to plan, test and evaluate a transferable protocol concerning active education for doctors and nurses in order to strengthen their soft skills. The Co-Health project minds to use innovative techniques of the Social and Community Theatre methodology to strengthen the workers soft skills. The social theater was used for team work, the management of unforeseen events and stress. With the theater, for the first time, the faculties of Medicine, Obstetrics and Nursing are united in training. The Co-health program, interfaculty, started in January 2014 with 60 students from Turin and Cuneo who received training based on the Community Social Theater methodology to work in interdisciplinary teams, to become self-aware and act effectively in complexity.
