The Hellenic Theatre/Drama &Education Network (TENet-Gr) in the framework of the pre/post-conference events of the International Conference 2025 "Theatre/Drama & Inclusive Education" organizes an experiential workshop with Colombian director Nancy Franco.
The workshop is addressed to teachers and facilitators of youth groups.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Perspective is key for inclusion and innovation.
This workshop invites participants to explore the Design Thinking process in education by creating their own projects. They'll learn about “Theater by Design” where students used Design Thinking to create an original theater piece. After understanding the project's stages and outcomes, participants will be invited to work through the process themselves until they have a developed prototype to take back to their classes for further testing.
Educators attending this session will not only produce an applicable project, they will also gain the experience and empathy necessary to support students to rise their ideas 35 meters above the ground.
