DRAMATICS
Drama is an effective tool in earning cross- cultural, and cross-curricular concepts along with value based learning. Children like to move and to interact with others. In drama we ask them to do exactly this. Rather than sitting still and listening they are encouraged to move, speak and respond to one another. Students who are challenged by reading and writing often respond more positively to the imaginative and multi-sensory learning offered by drama. This in turn helps them develop such skills as creativity, enquiry, communication, empathy, self-confidence, cooperation, leadership and negotiation. Most importantly, drama activities are fun which make learning both enjoyable and memorable.

The MUN club helps participants develop public speaking, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, while fostering a deeper understanding of international relations and current events.
