‘The Oil of Life’ challenges learners aged 11-13 to recognise the implications of oil usage in the 21st Century, and to re-think a sustainable future through drama, role-play and debate.
Groups of 20-25 pupils take part in 3 drama workshops over 3 consecutive weeks, working with Eco Drama workshop leaders to explore our relationship with oil, how our actions affect the natural environment, and discovering how we can all lead more sustainable lifestyles.
The Oil of Life workshops offer the chance for interdisciplinary learning across many areas of the Curriculum through the medium of Drama, specifically complimenting the subjects of Science and Social Studies, as well as Literacy and Health & Well Being.
As well as working with pupils, Eco Drama also provide a Creative Learning CPD Workshop for all teachers within the school. Please click here for more information.
