Education through voluntary action: participation of female students in a literacy programme for refugee children using drama pedagogical techniques

During the action “Drama and Literacy”, female students-future kindergarten teachers were trained on Drama techniques and participated in educational interventions with children of refugee origin in the Mosa camp (Volos). The aim of the research was to explore the views of female students towards the use of “alternative” techniques to enhance communication between children and refugees. The data analysis shows that the female students gained positive attitudes towards Dramatic Art Techniques and more confidence and readiness to educate the particular group of refugee children.
