Communicate uses drama to develop social and interpersonal skills for connecting people to their world. In an environment conducive to reflection, participants are able to remove themselves from their own life experiences, create a deeper understanding of other people’s perspectives and develop empathy for those around them. This is available as a student training program or a teachers resource pack.

Through fun and interactive dramatic scenes individuals and/or groups explore their ideas, attitudes and possible consequences to various given scenes.

Drama, a major and effective learning tool for teaching life skills, allows students to explore their responses to various situations while observing those of others. Connecting young people to their world empowers them to express their thoughts and feelings while challenging their prejudices, stereotypes and destructive behaviours. By using drama students become more confident about themselves and personal resilience is achieved through:

• Positive reinforcement
• Realistic scenarios
• Creating a safe environment where risk taking is encouraged and acceptable.

Communicate supports all Values Education Curricula and is a perfect example of using drama to teach life skills in any classroom subject.
