Drama is both an art form in its own right and a highly effective teaching and learning methodology, empowering students to learn creatively, think critically, and engage their bodies and emotions in the learning process.
As drama strategies actively promote fluency, confident communication, and listening skills, they are particularly effective in the language classroom, but all subjects can benefit from a drama-in-education approach.
In this course, participants will be introduced to the philosophies and principles underpinning drama in education as a teaching methodology and to a wide range of theatrical techniques used in diverse educational contexts. The content covered will include improvisation, process drama, theatrical techniques, voice work, and embodied learning.
Participants will be encouraged to actively participate in and experience all dramatic techniques and tools in order to fully appreciate the student experience and to align theory with practice.
There will be time allotted daily for participants to experiment with new games, activities, and techniques, adapt them to the needs of their own subjects and students, discuss how they might be used in lessons, and reflect upon challenges and highlights. One full day will be dedicated to designing and sharing original ideas and receiving feedback from the group.
By the end of this course, participants will have learned valuable activities and techniques to use in their classrooms, gained a deeper understanding of how and why drama is used as an effective teaching tool, and begun to develop their own drama-based lessons.

Reviews about this course
Lidia Garbin5 stars
The material and resources given, the topic but mainly the practical side of the course. The exercises that the trainer taught us were useful. He created a really friendly and comfortable atmosphere in the group. Everybody felt super comfortable and relaxed.
Αthanasia Ioannidoufrom Greece5 stars
The contact with the trainer and my colleagues from other countries about the teaching methods they use in their countries was incredible. I got a lot of new experiences and made new friendships. The teacher was very kind, and I learned a lot of new methods from her.
