DIVERSE project (Promotion of democratic values and diversity in schools through Creative Drama and Fairy Tales) got approved by the EU.

The main objective of the six-countries project is to improve the management of diversity in the classroom and especially in classrooms with an increased number of children with refugee/ migrant or minority background in their school environment. The first specific objective of the project is to support teachers and educators that are teaching in multicultural schools (school with an increased number of children with refugee/ migrant/ minority background) to develop their skills in order to promote effectively in the classroom. The project will focus both in elementary and secondary schools.

The Democracy through Drama Summer School will offer teachers of Humanities subjects an in-depth understanding of implementing dramatic tools in the subject lessons in order to create democratic spaces where students can raise questions, express opinion, look at situations from multiple perspectives and engage in the social dimension of the curriculum.

Besides the rich professional program led by experts from the UK, Italy, Belgium, Hungary and Greece, participants of the Summer School will also have the opportunity to take part in “off-the-beaten-track” cultural programs to experience Budapest. Social programs will offer possibilities to engage with teachers with similar interests from all around Europe.

InSite has provided support for two young actor/drama teachers’ to set up their own organisation and explore what it is like to operate an independent organisation. Fanni Fodor and Timea Török have created two TIE programmes that they will tour to schools in Hungary.

Their website is only in Hungarian currently.

InSite Drama, in cooperation with Artemisszió Foundation has created a new Debate Theatre performance for 11-14 year old’s  on the subject of xenophobia and bullying.

We will be performing the interactive programme 7 times in Budapest during December and schools in Budapest can apply for the free performances.

We created the performance and offer it free of charge thanks to the financial support of the Open Society Foundations.
