- Teamwork: Every theatre production requires collaboration and a joint effort towards a common goal.
- Empathy and emotional connection: Acting out stories allows you to understand different perspectives and develop sensitivity to others.
BENEFITS OF THEATRE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
Christmas theatre fits perfectly with the principles of the International Baccalaureate, which seeks to develop students with open-mindedness, global skills and an interdisciplinary approach. Activities like this help students connect the arts with other aspects of their education, encouraging a more holistic view of learning.
