7. Why do we use drama
as an alternative tool for learning?
•Play is an essential element of human life
•Chance to ”play seriously” through drama
• An alternative method to combat learning difficulties
•Through its holistic approach drama can
sometimes have profound impact for self-esteem
•A tool for empowerment and social inclusion
• drama is learning together – in a social context
•Participatory drama is active creating of meanings
and understanding – not passive learning
