Partners' Institution:
Klaipėda Puppet Theatre
Project's period (from/to):
03 November 2017 - 31 October 2019
Activity concerned:
IO2 - Video Tutorial to Tackle Early School Leaving Through Theatrical Laboratories
Objectives of activities carried out:
The main OFF-BOOK methodological approach is to encourage the building of a new interaction between teachers and students putting the focus on the dialogue among individuals and not on the traditional vertical teaching methods, thus breaking up the still typical logic of traditional School education and dynamics within the class communities based on the overwhelming impact of personal opinions and judgments by individuals on other individuals.

The specific objective of this Intellectual Output is to produce a video that should assume the form of a "diary" and encompasses all the experiences performed in the OFF-Book project and share the experiences of all users (students, teachers and professionals) from the organizational phase until the closing of the experience.
Description of activities carried out:
During the first meeting of the project the partners discussed the template of the video and planned the strategies to use the result of the project.
The aim of the national video is to show the effectiveness of the theatrical laboratories in order to support multicultural integration and to improve teacher-student relation.
The video must be clear and effective.
During the second meeting in Klaipeda, Lithuania Teatro Stabile di Grossseto introduced the template of the video to all the partners. The Italian partner also presented the strategies and the tools to be used in the creation of the video.
Klaipėda Puppet Theatre, in cooperation with Klaipėda University and Klaipėda Simon Dach progimnasium, contributed to the production of a calendar of activities in order to identify the roles, deadlines and responsibilities in order to produce the first part of the video.
