Ifigenia Georgiadou from Hellenic Culture Centre speaks about EAR. Our project that introduces the dialectical method in school education as a key feature that promotes the active participation of students in a democratic society with the support of theatre techniques.
EAR Badge creation (online educational certificate) has been created by WUSMED and sent to all teachers that participated in EAR course and also an additional one to those teachers that upscaled throught other teachers.
After the success of the first edition, we return with the second edition of the free training “Dialectics and theater as a means of education for citizenship” in the framework of the EAR project. Due to the extraordinary situation in the quality we find we are forced to carry out online training.
The training will take place from 9:30 to 12:30 on November 14 and December 19, 2020.
The second edition of the training of teachers in citizenship education through the dialectic method and theatre was run over between November and December 2020, throughout 2 online sessions.
Due to the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 outbreak, all the sessions took place online, via Google Meet platform and were organized in 6 hours distributed in 3 hours per session (from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.). In addition, to complement the training, there were an additional 14 hours of personal work (readings, analysis of audio-visual material and design of an activity).
In Spain the first edition of the Training of Teachers in citizenship education through the dialectic method and theatre took place over five months, specifically between January and May, throughout two training sessions which participated 9 teachers and only 3 passed the certification.
On Tuesday 15 th June 2021 the final conference of EAR project will take place.
The event because of the restrictions due to the pandemic organised by the University of Florence will be held online.
EAR Final Conference is an opportunity for teachers, students, researchers, and decision/policy makers to having illustrated the key features of the EAR Methodology, focusing on its value and challenges, to draft policy recommendations for EAR’s sustainability and its wider adoption.
In the framework of the Erasmus+ project EAR- Forming active European Citizens through the Dialectical Method and Theatre, we are inviting you to participate in a free online seminar for teachers. The main aim of the seminar is to empower teachers to use a combination of theatre techniques and Socratic dialectics in order to approach social issues inside their classroom.
The goal of EAR training is to enhance the citizenship competences of secondary school students through the dialectics, and theater and to achieve this goal one previous step is the training of teachers.
This training has been very welcomed by secondary school teachers and youth educators in our country. Our secondary schools have a high level of cultural diversity, and students with specific social and education needs, and teachers and educators don’t feel enough trained to face these challenges.
In Italy the process of teachers’ recruitment for EAR project started in May 2019 and it successfully ended in September 2019 with the involvement of 35 practicing teachers and 135 pre-service teachers. These latter were students participating to EAR within the framework of their Initial Teacher Training at the University of Florence. The training of the pre-service teachers took place at the University whilst the training sessions for practicing teachers have ben carried out in their respective schools where later the EAR methodology has been implemented, namely the “Istituto Comprensivo Empoli Est” in Empoli (a small town in the area of Florence) and the “Istituto Comprensivo Ghiberti” in Florence. The training of (future) teachers and the implementation of the EAR methodology in the classrooms with about 900 students (9-15 yo) dates back to October and November 2019.
