Methodology & assessment

Participants will be active protagonists since they will live an educational experience centered on the experimentation of their own ability. Participants will have the opportunity to acquire technical and practical knowledge through a methodology based on team work, discussions and elaboration using also a method of practical exercises and simulations. Storytelling will be used to introduce pre-texts on which the Process Drama will be structured. IBL, TBL and PBL will be integrated into the context of Process Drama. Participants will learn to take the role of facilitators rather than teachers so they could develop their students’ self-directed learning skills and turn them in protagonists of their own learning.
