OUR IDEA, OUR ROLE, OUR LIFE

The changes in human life has a connection with the roles that they assume. They live in a social environment but at the same time they choose their own behaviors and way of thinking.

Education has a center role in these processes of life. And the importance of creative works in child education is the fact that everyone accept.it is hard to tell these educational practices are sustainable both in schools and outdoors. Therefore we need to apply ''Creative Drama'' method as a necessary approach in education.
