Teaching methods

The workshop includes theoretical explanations of the cultural, artistic, expressive and pedagogical characteristics of Kamishibai (origins, aesthetic traits, educational and transformative potential) combined with practical activities involving experimentation and creation using basic expressive techniques:

from the conscious use of the body, voice and gestures to reading, writing and interpreting narratives, and experimenting with graphic gestures gestures and searching for evocative words.


The method will be based on an active, reflective and dialogical approach, taking into account the educational dimension of the playful experience.

 

 

Assessment methods

The activity will be assessed based on the quality of participation and a short written report containing personal reflections on the work carried out.
