About the project

An Erasmus+ project about theatre, learning by doing, discovering new possibilities of personal development for students, their parents and teachers – by different activities connected with theatre.
The partnership of five schools: Italy, Greece, Spain, Romania and Poland.

AIMS

The most important aim of the Erasmus+ project is:
to enhance the development of core skills. The action will be promoted by other two important elements:
1.shared values, civic involvement and participation
2. social and educational value of the European cultural heritage

WORK PROCESS

The project includes 5 European countries: Poland, Romania, Greece, Spain and Italy. Every country has been chosen in terms of its experiences and its intention to learn and teach through pedagogical techniques based on the theatre:

Poland: The shadow theatre;
Romania: The puppet theatre;
Greece: The theatre and the Myth;
Spain: The theatre dance;
Italy: “La Commedia dell’arte” and the relationship between Literature, Poetry, Music/Song and Theatre.

Every activity will be done and detailed at school through workshops. Every country will propose a theme with elements related to its tradition and folklore. Everyone will have the possibility to communicate different contents and to let students know and give importance to the artistic and cultural heritage of all the countries involved.

Theatre workshops will teach students how to get to know each other, express themselves and develop their personality. They will learn to relate to others, like “one for all, all for one”.

EXPECTED RESULTS

We expect a deep impact on the whole school community and on the territory. We have already had the possibility to understand that our students prefer learning settings which are different from the classroom. It is important to let students express themselves in an alternative way so that they can be ready to go, cooperatively and effectively, beyond their limits and their difficulties. The topics analysed will help students develop core skills in a different way. They will learn to manage their conflicts and to get ready to take up employment in the future; they will develop a more efficient communication with students belonging to different cultures, by improving the use of a foreign language. They will achieve decision–making and entrepreneurial skills in order to organize events and performances. Everything will be useful for them so that they will grow harmoniously, reducing their sense of frustration and encouraging their self–esteem.
