Participants also shared their current classroom practices, which helped position drama within <strong>real teaching contexts<\/strong> and clarify how it is already being used across different settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus then shifted to <strong>drama techniques<\/strong>, particularly <strong>role play and storytelling<\/strong>, alongside <strong>emotional intelligence<\/strong>. Using structured, hands-on exercises, participants worked with the emotions wheel and practiced role play activities aimed at developing <strong>social and emotional skills<\/strong>. Storytelling was also introduced as a pedagogical tool, with attention to how it can support <strong>understanding, engagement, and meaning-making in the classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention then turned to <strong>improvisation, creativity, and public speaking<\/strong>. In small groups, participants completed a \u201c10 quests\u201d challenge in which each task highlighted one principle of <strong>improvisation<\/strong>. Through these activities, they actively experienced <strong>how trust, collaboration, and group cohesion<\/strong> can directly influence <strong>confidence, spontaneity, and learning dynamics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme also explored expressive arts for education, specifically <strong>drawing and music.<\/strong> Participants explored how visual and musical activities can be used in teaching to support e<strong>xpression, attention, and cultural awareness.<\/strong> The day also highlighted how these creative tools can foster<strong> intercultural understanding<\/strong> and increase<strong> student engagement<\/strong> in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-1024x576.jpg\" data-id=\"9799\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9799 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"9799\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yj-1-scaled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, participants worked on <strong>integrating drama into classroom practice<\/strong>. They explored how drama-based activities can be adapted across subjects such as languages, history, mathematics, and science. The final task was to <strong>design and present an original classroom activity<\/strong>, bringing together the methods and insights developed during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the course, participants left with <strong>practical teaching strategies<\/strong> and a clearer understanding of how drama can be used to support creativity, communication, and emotional development. The experience also strengthened <strong>professional connections across countries<\/strong> and provided <strong>concrete ideas<\/strong> ready to be implemented in their own classrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing drama into the classroom goes far beyond performance.
