“I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place.” Howard Gardner
In addition to ‘The Oil of Life’ workshop programme for pupils, Eco Drama offers teachers within secondary schools the opportunity to take part in a Creative Learning CPD Workshop.
Within the workshop we practically explore the potential of integrating drama within the curriculum as an interactive and effective way of learning. We explore creative learning techniques and consider how these can be integrated within specialist curriculum subjects. The leaders from Eco Drama also demonstrate some techniques used within ‘The Oil of Life’ workshops, and tailor the experience to teachers specialist subjects.
