National Drama is delighted to announce an exciting, interactive workshop for primary teachers. The workshop will inspire teachers and provide new drama strategies that will enhance the teaching of literacy, cross-curricular work and social inclusion.

Aims of the event
- to introduce drama strategies that deepen learning;
- to experience Drama as an arts process to approach core subjects and topics;
- to highlight the learning potential when teacher and pupils work collaboratively in role;
