Theatre and other art forms in education

This is a study about the possibilities and impossibilities of theatre and other art forms in education.

How can we integrate theatre and related art forms into education and translate this into an educational method that renews education and makes it more innovative and creative? This is the central question in the research project of HRM senior lecturer Paul de Regt. The HRM degree programme has a need for activating teaching methods that motivate students more intrinsically and lead them to use more creativity and develop ideas inspired by disciplines outside the professional field.

Intended duration of the project

The research about theatre and other art forms in education will run until at least the end of 2021.
