About the Workshop!
This three-day practical workshop is designed for teachers and artists who are experienced in using Drama in Education and other forms of educational theatre in their work with children and young people. The workshop will focus on
- the experience of being in drama and what kinds of learning come from that experience.
- how stories shape our worlds and offer insights into the human condition and learning opportunities for children and young people.
- the importance of drama/theatre in improving wellbeing, harmony, and confidence.
Our work with stories will include how we learn to make new stories with learners that can give them confidence in themselves and hopeful the future.
