This presentation is about how we can use educational drama and theatre techniques in order to promote human rights and intercultural education in English language teaching. It is an undeniable fact that drama and theatre empower students to understand their world through exploring roles and situations and develop students’ verbal and non-verbal, individual and social communication skills. In this presentation, we will be presented with ideas that can be used in both virtual and physical classes about educational drama and theatre techniques like forum theatre, image theatre, flashbacks and flashforwards, puppetry, story circles, Conscience Alley, and many more aiming to promote effective learning and creative use of the target language while teaching students about human rights, respect, and no-hate speech while contributing to intercultural education in English teaching lessons.

I am a Teacher of English as a foreign Language in Thessaloniki, Greece. I have been teaching English through Drama and Theatre Techniques and the research of my MA and Phd studies has to do with promoting Intercultural Education in English Language Teaching through Educational Drama and Theatre.
