Multi-Racial Videoscenes

Synopsis

Outlines the way in which the videoscenes can be used in training and shows 15 short scenes featuring clients seeking help, non-verbal behaviour and interaction in a social work staff room. A range of situations is given relating to multi-cultural social work and interviewing. The scenes are role-played by volunteers. The training group are asked to imagine that they are alone in a room with the client who speaks to them directly from the video screen. The group is asked to consider its emotional and verbal reactions and a possible course of action.
