Study Programs

Thomas Tenkamp Theaterpädagogik provides a focused portfolio of workshops, continuing education formats, and practical training sessions centered on theater pedagogy, communication, and resilience. The provider does not offer formal academic degrees such as bachelor's, master's, or MBA credentials. Instead, the catalog consists of non-degree professional development courses, tailored institutional training days, family activities, and an interactive online course, primarily serving children, educators, and parents. In the distance-learning format, the provider features the online course Löwenkraftkinder. This digital program is tailored for parents and pedagogical professionals seeking practical tools for bullying and violence prevention. Through recorded video modules, participants explore theater-pedagogical conflict resolution strategies and underlying educational concepts. The course is structured for active engagement, providing enrolled members with access to a dedicated online forum where they can submit questions, examine real-life case studies, and interact directly with experts. On-site educational offerings for children and families are conducted in daycare centers, elementary schools, and community venues. In Dortmund, regular in-person sessions are held at the Schönste Zeit facilities, including the weekly Löwenkraftkinder course on Wednesdays and Papa-Kind-Zeit on Saturdays. In-person children's programs encompass theater projects, movement and play courses, and self-assertion training. These activities use playful role-playing and improvisational theater exercises to help young participants navigate conflicts and build self-confidence in a structured setting. For professional groups and institutions, Thomas Tenkamp conducts customized on-site team days, workshops, and continuing education seminars. These programs assist daycare teams and pedagogical staff with topics such as values development, communication models, handling emotions, and concept evaluation, drawing on the provider's Spiel Dich Gut method. Educational institutions can also book on-site keynote lectures and event moderation for professional symposia, as well as collaborative parent seminars covering early childhood education challenges.
