More than (just) a story
The workshop aims to explore how a simple story from a book or textbook, especially an English language textbook, can become an intriguing tool for developing children's "soft skills." Participants will receive advice on fostering imagination, creativity, as well as the development of personal, social, and communication skills crucial for successful relationship management, particularly with peers.
By putting themselves in others' shoes, analyzing characters from various perspectives, including their actions and thoughts, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their pedagogical approach.
All practical ideas stem from experiences in classes with children of different ages, predominantly ranging from 9 to 12 years old, where the dramatic process was used as a key method.

I'm so grateful to have attended this workshop. And thank you so much for conducting it in Serbian for me! It was my first time experiencing something like this, and it's truly designed to develop various skills. I don't know if you and the others noticed, but my daughter was there the whole time, out of the camera's view, listening and commenting. After the workshop, she said, "Why can't she be my teacher?" Thank you!
