This one-day workshop demonstrates how drama activities can build children’s confidence and self esteem, sharpen their thinking and communication skills and develop the whole child, influencing their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being and their perspective of the wider world. Drama encourages group dynamics, teamwork, problem solving and is a way of tackling complex issues. It can be used as an effective tool for consultation and evaluation, assessment and reflection, or to facilitate cross-curricular or inter-disciplinary learning. Above all, drama is a fun way to engage and involve children. In this practical workshop you will experience a range of drama games and activities and be shown, through your own participation, how to use them with children in formal and informal learning contexts. No previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to have a go and join in!

Young children and the arts
The arts can transform and enhance the lives of children and contribute to lifelong creativity and wellbeing. This major international conference follows on from Children in Europe’s widely praised publication Picture this…Young children and the arts and will consider the significance of the arts (encompassing all art forms) in learning, social and emotional development and communication. Drawing on research and practical examples from the UK, Europe and around the world, the conference will examine the variety of ways the arts are used in developing learning and communication and in promoting inclusion.
