CURRICULAR THEATRICAL EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
ID Number: 2016-1-IT02-KA219-024165
Communication skills – while working on the Unit
students cooperate with their classmates as well as
foreign peers. As they usually work in groups they
learn effective cooperation. Both gathering and
presenting geographic information often requires
using the English language which is the tool of
communication in the project so pupils become more
motivated and improve their English, mainly build up
vocabulary and develop communication skills.
Social skills - students work in groups and learn some
rules and attitudes needed during mutual work e.g.
- to be tolerant and empathetic,
- to understand and appreciate different values
and opinions,
- to participate in the school / local community,
country life in an active and beneficial way
- to be an individual who is aware of different
aspects of geography and its role for humans.
