The Art of Teaching
Drama as a tool for teaching
„The Art of Teaching“ gives us an opportunity to connect experts in special and inclusive education, educational theatre and drama, research in culture and information technology. Experts from Austria, Croatia and Slovenia work together to develop comprehensive training course and teaching tools for primary school teachers.
The objectives of the projects are:
- Develop innovative, inclusive and effective training course for primary school teachers and teaching assistants based on educational theatre and drama.
- Establish international cooperation between three primary schools.
- Develop tools for more creative and innovative teaching and collection of creative assessment activities for primary school teacher and teaching assistants.
EDUCULT is one of nine partner organisations and brings expertise in the field of cultural education in schools and in the implementation of creative evaluation methods.

Training day: Creative exercises for evaluating teaching activities
Theatre and drama exercises are an excellent teaching method to support sustainable learning through an emotional connection to the subject matter. Creative exercises for evaluation help to understand the intended and achieved effects. The training day will present creative exercises and games for evaluating teaching activities, that have been developed for teachers and educators as part of the project. Teachers will be provided with creative methods that help to improve the school climate and gain a broader understanding of lesson content among pupils. The full-day training programme begins with trying out selected exercises. This is followed by an insight into the entire handout with 38 exercises and games. At the end, there will be a reflection on the practical application in (your own) lessons.
