Chung Ying Theatre Company has always supported the professional development of teachers, working to enhance the benefits of drama education. With almost 40 years of experience in drama education, encompassing a wide range of content and partners, it has established a solid foundation for educational and outreach work.  

All training workshops or courses are tailor-made and exclusive to each individual association. Among these, preschool teachers, primary and secondary school teachers, and college professors alike are inspired, enhancing their teaching methods comprehensively.

Elements of drama education are integrated into the lessons through Drama-in-Education, and with the flexible application of Applied Theatre such as “process drama”, “forum theatre” and “playback theatre”, the teaching content is well designed. This approach not only makes learning from textbooks engaging but also fosters students’ creativity and encourages deep reflection upon the subject matters.

To address controversial topics like morality, civic education, and social issue deliberation, DiE enables students to express their true feelings and reflections within a fictional context, so as to develop their critical thinking, thereby creating a diverse learning experience.
