Intercultural and Life-long-Learning Based on Drama-in-Education* Prepositions for Multidimensional Research Projects

Öz

Our principal aim in this paper is to put forward ways for an in-depth investigation of the

role of drama in education. These concern drama both as a methodology in itself in the field

of education and Lifelong-learning, and as a means capable for implementation in other

areas of the curriculum. Our preoccupation with alternative dramatic forms, such as Puppet

Theatre, dramatised narrations and creative writing-in-role, was due to our ambition to

involve a rather large spectrum of prospective participants (students, prison convicts, elderly

people and immigrants). It has also been our aim to involve people who seek ways to improve

their professional competence (people working in museums, public libraries, or tourism, and

generally people for whom drama could be useful in their work places). In fact, our main

objective has been the consolidation of Drama in Education in a context that, in our conviction,

rightly deserves in the field of scientific and social work.
