Drama in Education

The lectures aim to introduce students to the pioneers of theatre in education and their contribution to the educational process. Through drama techniques and practical presentations, they will be able to recognize the potential of “interference” in their actions, acknowledge practices of drama as social intervention and implement dramatic action as a means of overturning stereotypes. The course will initiate students to the theatre of the oppressed- Augusto Boal’s forum theatre- and help them develop the versatility and skills of a conductor as well as the ability to design a training program for preschool and primary school children.
