FINISHED
The project "Let's Experience School Together" focusses on the needs of the schools in the field of professional development of the Creative Writing teachers whose aim is to involve drama and theatre into education and free-time activities in our school. Based on the composition of the study programmes that we offer, theatre is a suitable platform to interconnect the variety of their art work and support their mutual collaboration. On the one hand, it concerns texts created in Creative Writing lessons (Bookselling and Publishing Management, Information Services) and, on the other hand, fine art represented by Graphic Design programme including scenography as a part of 3D production.Drama and partially theatre, too, is included in the content of education in the School Educational Framework (in the subjects of Czech Language and Literature, World Literature History, Literary Seminar, Creative Writing, and Social Studies), however, so far, it has not been used as a didactic device in education. The students learn about drama and theatre but, at the same time, they could learn other subjects using theatre. In this project, we support use of drama techniques in teaching subjects such as foreign languages, Social Studies, History etc. Regarding the above mentioned needs of our school, the project includes job-shadowing which will allow the participant to get acquainted with the possibilities of use of drama and theatre in the process of education at the host organization which will also offer her an insight into educational documents. The other two participants will attend courses focussing on drama and theatre considering different attitudes towards educational process. In the case of the participant teaching Creative Writing and English, it is a course dealing with use of drama in foreign language teaching, while in the case of the other participant, it is a course focussing on drama as an art category and work with specific texts including production itself.After the arrival, the participants will begin to process the gained knowledge and experience and they will continuously apply them, primarily in their own lessons. At the end of the school year, they will organize workshops and share their experience from the mobility and also their own ideas from the following application. Since the workshops will be determined also for teachers from other schools, the impact of the project will cover a broad area of other professionals. We will inform about the project and invite people for the following events (e.g. a school theatre day, workshops) on our websites.The long-term contribution of the project lies, on the one hand, in development of teaching methods (use of drama techniques in comprehensive subjects) and, at the same time, in supporting art work and collaboration in our school (theatre activities).
