Body Expression and Non-Verbal Language to Strengthen Assertive Communication in Children Aged 10-12 at Risk of Social Exclusion

Abstract

This intervention proposal targets children aged 10 to 12 at risk of social exclusion, using body language to encourage effective communication with others. Social exclusion can hinder the development of social and communication skills, potentially reinforcing their exclusion status (Navas, 2010). The workshops, delivered across six sessions, are structured into three stages: Body Expression, Non-Verbal Language, and Assertive Communication. Through various activities, participants will explore and practice body awareness, emotions, and conveying messages through body language.
