«Theatre is not only an art form, but an essential pedagogical tool for the emotional, social and cognitive development of our students. This is why we presented to the VII Culture Commission a resolution aimed at promote theatre education in Italian schools. We live in a constantly changing socio-cultural context, characterized by a vast range of technological stimuli”. This was declared in a note by the deputy vice president of Fratelli d’Italia in the Chamber, Manlio Messina and the senator of Fratelli d’Italia and vice head of the School department, She Bucalo.
«In this scenario – they add – It is crucial that our young people develop adaptability skills and learn to value their own peculiarities and creativity.. The school, as an environment rich in opportunities for comparison and personal growth, is the ideal place where all this can and must happen.Theatre and related activities have a profound effect on emotional intelligence, offering a valuable tool for understanding oneself and others.. This art form allows to improve the management of relationships, break down personal and social barriers, and promote dynamics of inclusion and collaboration”. For the exponents of FDI “Theatre education at school not only allows students to acquire artistic skills, but above all helps them to grow as people, integrating mind and body, creativity and manual skills, theory and practice. The resolution commits to continue raising awareness in schools about the importance of artistic experiences and the educational and cultural values of theater. It commits to ensuring greater dissemination of theater culture in schools, encouraging the sharing of good practices, and promotes teacher training on theater issues, considering it a strategic priority of the National Training Plan. Messina and Bucalo conclude by saying that all artistic education activities are opportunities for cultural and social growth. In fact, theatre is not just an extracurricular activity, but a powerful educational tool that can transform our school, making it more inclusive and capable of cultivating the talent and creativity of our young people.».
