Description

A method which combines Socratic Dialectics and Theatre in order to discuss issues related with citizenship education (and social issues in general). The EAR Methodology is based on a simple series of activities, which have a common goal: to change attitudes and behaviours and develop active citizenship in students. The dialectical method has been established by Socrates and it is about posing critical questions in order to underline the social contradictions. This series of questions clarifies a more precise statement of a vague belief, logical consequences of that statement are explored, and a contradiction is discovered.
