Description
This paper aims to highlight the contribution of the synthesis of Theatre in Education and New Techniques in the environmental awareness of primary school students. Initially, a pedagogical and theoretical documentation of this particular conflation is carried out through international bibliography and recent studies. Following this, the dynamics of the application of activities that combine theatrical codes, as well as role-playing, with new technologies and digital media, in the natural environment are presented. To substantiate this proposal, the example of the Educational Programme for Primary School Students "Educational Pathways. Exploring the Lycabettus Hill" of the Social Cooperative Enterprise "Paths of Greece". With a carefully designed hiking route on Lycabettus Hill as the central axis, students are invited to operate in a context of different roles, to map the area and finally to understand the importance of nature and sustainability.
