Abstract

Interactive theatre is an experiential teaching method in which learners play a central role in the learning process. Through this approach, students are encouraged to take an active role in designing, organizing, and interacting under the guidance of the teacher. However, the application of this method in school practice still faces several limitations, particularly in the context where the education of compassion has not been implemented in a synchronized and effective manner. This paper focuses on clarifying issues related to the education of compassion in schools, and then analyzes the process of organizing interactive theatre methods in order to support teachers in effectively applying this approach in educating students’ compassion.

Keywords: Civic education, compassion, Interactive theatre, lower secondary school.
