Workshop:
Creative Drama in Education

SALT Galata, Workshop IV

SALT invites educators to participate in the workshop entitled “Creative Drama in Education,’’ which will be held at SALT Galata on November 9. The workshop, led by dramaturg İlkay Ceyhan, will demonstrate how to use different drama techniques and strategies creatively and imaginatively in course planning.

The scope and scale of using the method of creative drama varies in formal and non-formal educational settings. A student-centered activity, creative drama aims to promote creativity, language and communication skills as well as critical thinking. Creative drama activities are not designed as solitary lesson plans; they allow for a progression from what participants naturally do to a more structured framework for learning.

SALT Interpretation aims to help educators build a collaborative student-teacher relationship, develop a creative learning process in the classroom and connect and apply coursework structures to other disciplines through the “Creative Drama in Education” workshop. By introducing new methods of teaching through creative drama, this workshop will also contribute to the educators’ personal growth and career development. The workshop is open to middle and high school teachers, art educators and teacher candidates.

The workshop will be held in Turkish and are free of charge.
Maximum number of participants: 10 people
