Using drama as a means by which to encourage recycling amongst Britain’s children.
Noting the present use of ‘recycling magic programmes’ and puppet-based drama to educate primary school children about the environment and the positives of recycling’ this dissertation follows three drama groups who specialise in teaching children’ in a hands-on manner’ about how to recycle and care for the environment. Accompanying each of the three drama groups on two visits to different schools in the North East’ West Midlands and Home Counties’ the effect that their drama workshops have on children’s understanding is measured in the immediate term (through questionnaires) and in the medium term by re-interviewing the children one month later.
