<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;">L&rsquo;atelier slam est d&eacute;fini par Grand Corps Malade comme un &laquo;&nbsp;Moment d&rsquo;&eacute;coute, (&hellip;) de tol&eacute;rance, (&hellip;) de rencontres, (..) de partage&nbsp;&raquo; (129H, 2007&nbsp;: 31). Men&eacute; sous forme d&rsquo;atelier en contexte scolaire, il constitue un lieu d&rsquo;&eacute;ducation &agrave; l&rsquo;empathie par excellence. Il est l&rsquo;occasion pour les enseignants d&rsquo;accompagner les &eacute;l&egrave;ves dans le d&eacute;passement de la peur du regard de l&rsquo;autre et dans la gestion de leurs &eacute;motions. Depuis les activit&eacute;s dites d&rsquo;&eacute;chauffement jusqu&rsquo;&agrave; la performance orale, le corps, par les interactions verbales et visuelles qu&rsquo;il permet, instaure une mise en r&eacute;sonance (Zanna, 2016) entre les &eacute;l&egrave;ves qui contribue &agrave; construire un esprit de groupe favorisant la solidarit&eacute; spontan&eacute;e. En apportant &agrave; chacun une forme de r&eacute;assurance qui g&eacute;n&egrave;re des &eacute;motions positives et renforce le sentiment d&rsquo;efficacit&eacute; personnelle (Bandura, 2007), le groupe stimule la motivation et l&rsquo;implication individuelle n&eacute;cessaires &agrave; l&rsquo;am&eacute;lioration des comp&eacute;tences, tant langagi&egrave;res que psychosociales.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Grand Corps Malade defines slam poetry as &ldquo;a time for listening, (...) tolerance, (...) encounters, (...) sharing&rdquo; (129H, 2007: 31). The slam workshop in a school context is an outstanding place for empathy education. It is an opportunity for teachers to help students overcome their fear of the other&#39;s gaze and manage their emotions. From the first warm-up activities to the final oral performance, the body, through the verbal and visual interactions it allows, establishes a resonance (Zanna, 2016) between the students which contributes to building a group spirit which encourages spontaneous solidarity. The group provides each student with a form of reassurance which generates positive emotions and reinforces the feeling of personal effectiveness (Bandura, 2007). By doing so, it stimulates the motivation and the individual involvement, both necessary for the improvement of language as well as psychosocial skills.</span></span></p>
