  9. vi. Methodology: RMA “…process of collective exploration that takes as a departure point the experience and the intuition of individuals.” (Dolci, 1996) • Learner centred approach • Uses cooperative learning • Uses the circle as priveligedphisical disposition • All participants have the occasion to express the own thoughts and opinions • RMA is intended to create a safe context for people to express themselves, to listen each other, to discover, to be creative, to learn relational and communicational competencies, to feel valued as a human being.

  10. The main principles behind the approach are: • Listening - expression • Communication • Confrontation • Individual and social responsibility • Active participation of all • Cooperation • Nonviolence • Building complex images of reality (with the point of view and contribution of all) • Value/emphasis in the individual and group experience • Creative process • Sharing of power (in contraposition to domination and concentration of power) • Awareness/self awareness • Ask questions and analyse problems instead of impose solutions – ask the good questions

  11. The impact observed n participantsis: • learn to share points of view with other people • learn to communicate • learn to confront with other people in a nonviolent way • develop listening and verbal communication skills • learn to value and respect others • learn to respect difference • learn to value the group and to cooperate • develop active participation awareness and skills • strengthen democratic competences • facilitate and reinforce the integration between people from different backgrounds
