Where to learn more (files/images archive and links available on the www)

Some very useful and relevant links which could be used by trainers and youth workers to find more information are:

Through the article of Adam Blatner, M.D. “Drama in education as mental hygiene: a child psychiatrist's perspective” you can find further interesting links connecting drama and education. This article appeared in the Youth Theatre Journal, (9, 92-96, March, 1995) and re-published on website, August 2, 2002.

Get inspiration from this video (c.a. 14’) of George Belliveau: Drama in education. Dr. George Belliveau is a professor of theatre/drama education at the University of British Columbia, Canada. The content explores A Midsummer Night's Dream, however other pieces of literature, history, or current events could be used.

Assessment Instruction Sheet

We suggest the following exercises:

-  To pre-assess / Formative assessments

Use method Piece- of- the basket in different ways (a basket as a container for anonymous thoughts written down in pieces of paper):

  • To discuss sensitive issues - participants respond anonymously and when patches are drawn and answers are read, they remain anonymous. The answers and opinions will then be the basis for a discussion without being "hung out".
  • As a rehearsal or a basis for discussion – how can we deal with xenophobia and prejudice? – trainers will write and then will discuss with trainees possible solutions, which are going to be de basis of role-plays.

-  Formative assessments

Guidelines given by trainer to be followed. An assessment grid can easily scale the abilities that are expected and achieved by each trainee.

-  Final evaluation

Launch the event (Final Performance).

  • Assess the success of the Final Performance event and the role each of the trainees had in the organization of the play – (see Participation and responsibility assessment criteria).
  • Evaluate the performance of each trainee in the play - (see Participation and responsibility assessment criteria and Matters domain assessment criteria).
