Drama in education is a powerful tool that fosters self-expression, collaboration, and problem-solving, allowing students to explore emotions, build empathy and enhance their social skills. It plays a crucial role in developing emotional intelligence, helping students recognize and manage their emotions while understanding and connecting with others.
