Creative Learning through Performative Arts

Experience the power of expression through movement, storytelling, and improvisation.

This course helps educators use performative arts to build confidence, empathy, and creative energy in any learning environment.

— no artistic background needed!

Description

Discover how performative arts can transform learning into a creative, expressive, and deeply human experience.

This training course invites educators to explore role-play, improvisation, storytelling, and embodied learning as tools for communication, empathy, and group connection. Participants will engage in hands-on activities that foster imagination, participation, and emotional awareness — skills that can easily be adapted to any subject or age group.

No artistic background is required — only openness, curiosity, and a willingness to learn through movement, expression, and play. The course encourages educators to bring more creativity, presence, and inclusivity into their classrooms, while rediscovering the joy of learning through performance-inspired education.

The course is based on non-formal learning methodologies and digital tools:

  • Performative and embodied learning techniques
  • Improvisation and role-play activities
  • Storytelling and expressive movement
