Integrating Process Drama with Curriculum
For K-12 Educators & School Heads
Process Drama enables students become a part of the learning process rather than be mere observers or receptacles of the experience of learning. . . .their learning is deeper, more sustained, and more complex
—JEFFREY WILHELM. Author, Educator & Professor of English Education
A creative learning process, it offers teachers and students the experience of an event, a place, or a time period through improvisation rather than rehearsing and presenting a performance. Teachers and students create an imaginary world to address challenges or events through dramatic improvisation. It’s pedagogy long and extensively validated worldwide, Process Drama is an exceptional tool to teach Languages, Science, Math and Social Sciences. Process Drama is not about “acting”, but about Attitude, Experience and Empathy.
Surekha Dey, Storyteller, Teacher Trainer, Specialist educator for Early Learning and consultant whose extensive experience spans three decades across Singapore, Malaysia, UK and India will conduct the session.

Compelling communicators among them will stand head & shoulders over all other, and become the sheet anchor for ideas road maps that inspire untold numbers for the rest of this century.
