Drama in Education is a form of theatrical art, pedagogically oriented, which can be taught as a subject at schools or as an educational approach at teaching different subjects. The aim of this alternative teaching approach is the holistic learning of the students. In order to understand how this world functions -and inside this world, how ourselves function-, it’s important to explore it, not just get informed about it. In other words, it’s a interdisciplinary approach which develops creative thinking, emotional, intrapersonal and drama intelligence, psychokinesthetic skills, critical thinking, aesthetics, researching and language skills as well as many others, depending on the aims of the teacher-animator.
Let’s stop preparing students for life and make them experience life!
