Interactive Storytelling and Drama for Schools
Engaging Youth through Narrative and Performance
Program overview
Interactive Storytelling and Drama for Schools focuses on equipping educators and professionals with the skills to harness narrative techniques and dramatic arts to enhance literacy and numeracy among students. Participants will explore various storytelling methods, character development, and performance techniques that can be integrated into educational settings. The course emphasizes hands-on projects, allowing learners to create engaging content that can be applied directly within classrooms.
Through collaborative exercises and project-based learning, attendees will not only develop their storytelling abilities but also gain insights into how drama can be a powerful tool for teaching essential skills. The course culminates in a final project where participants will design a comprehensive storytelling lesson plan that incorporates drama techniques, aimed at improving literacy and numeracy outcomes in a school environment. Publishing results in Cademix Magazine is encouraged, providing a platform for sharing innovative practices and insights.
