Paper planes from Perugia are so last week. This time, we’re taking a direct flight to Helsinki! ✈️📄🎭

Fresh off the press: my complete recap of Drama Boreale 2026 is officially live on the blog!

From exploring neutral masks and Sámi history to puppetry made from scrap, moving grammar with my Finnish sister Nina, and facilitating my own workshop with a Palestinian folk tale: it was three days packed with pure inspiration, process drama, and creative energy. ✨

Whether you’re still soaking up the final weeks of summer break or starting to mentally prepare for the school year ahead, take a 5-minute breather and dive into what happens when international drama pedagogues gather to play, reflect, and push boundaries.

Language learning isn't only about correct answers.
Can students:
✔ listen?
✔ collaborate?
✔ build on someone else's idea?
✔ respond naturally?
These are real communication skills.
And drama gives you the perfect opportunity to observe them.

A quiet classroom isn't always an engaged classroom.

When students are discussing, negotiating, imagining and solving problems in English, the room naturally becomes more active.

That's not chaos.

That's learning.

The key isn't lowering the volume.

It's giving students a clear purpose for communicating.

A plane flying close? Normal.
A paper airplane delivering my blog updates? Slightly dramatic, but completely my style. ✈️📄🎭

I know, I know: it's mid-August, you're at the beach, and the last word you want to hear right now is "lesson planning." Fair enough! 🌊🏖️

Consider this zero-stress summer reading instead. Just a light 5-minute read about process drama, Julia Donaldson’s Superworm, and turning reflective teaching moments into mini handmade zines under the Perugia sun. ☕️✨

Grab an iced freddo, leave the school brain on mute, and catch up on the blog whenever you feel like a quick break from sunbathing!

Every lesson has its own rhythm.
Some feel like a calm acoustic melody.
Others become a Broadway musical.
Some... sound a little like controlled chaos. 🎭

And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Because when students are engaged, moving, laughing, negotiating and creating together, the classroom has a unique energy that no textbook can reproduce.

🎵 So tell us...

If your lesson had a soundtrack today, what kind of music would it be?

👇 We'd love to hear your answer.

Instead of raising your voice...
create a routine.
Teach students that one signal means:

🛑 Stop.

🛑 Freeze.

🛑 Listen.

Over time, this becomes a shared classroom habit that helps you regain attention without interrupting the flow of learning.

Small routines make a big difference.

When students NEED English... they use English.

Teacher in Role gives students a real reason to speak.

You're no longer the teacher.
You're the character.
And suddenly...

English becomes communication, not just another classroom exercise.

🎭 Fresh on the Blog: Reflections from PAInt Perugia!

What happens when you step away from traditional coursebooks and dive headfirst into three days of performative language teaching in the historic heart of Perugia?

Spoiler: You end up in a space filled with creativity, vulnerability, process drama, and some unforgettable human connection. 🌿✨

In my latest article, I’m looking back at my time at the 4th PAInt International Summer School: sharing personal takeaways, non-verbal trust exercises, Julia Donaldson's Superworm, and how we turned our reflections into mini handmade zines on the final day! ✂️📖

If you’re curious about building safe/brave spaces in language learning, or just want to read a fellow teacher's candid reflections on navigating creative labyrinths, head over to the website to read the full piece.
