Accredited training
An experience designed for teachers at every school level
The event is part of the Dadi, Maghi e Draghi project and is devoted to the use of role-playing games as educational and teaching tools. The course is free and accredited on the SOFIA teacher-training platform.
Role-playing is approached not simply as entertainment, but as a structured environment in which participants can practice transferable skills: communication, collaboration, problem-solving, creativity, dealing with the unexpected, taking different points of view, shared storytelling and confronting the consequences of their choices.
Experiential workshop for teachers
Participants directly experience a short role-playing session, with no previous knowledge required.
Starting from the concrete experience at the table, the dynamics that emerge during play and their possible educational and school applications are analyzed.
From play to method
A second event, also open to the public, is devoted to the pedagogical foundations of the Dadi, Maghi e Draghi project.
The role of the teacher and narrator, activity design, group management, the relationship between freedom and rules, student engagement, and the use of error, choice and the unexpected as elements of learning.
Flexible participation
You can also attend just one part
Depending on availability, participants can attend the whole programme or only the morning workshop or evening event.
