International Summer School
University of Padova / Drama in Education Days
Inclusive practices in performative approaches to language and (inter)cultural learning
22-26 July, 2024
Information
The Summer School will take place from 22 to 26 July 2024 and will focus on the role of drama as a tool for developing language and (inter)cultural competence, and as a means for celebrating diversity and multilingualism and fostering inclusion. It is aimed at Master’s students, PhD students, language and/or drama teachers, young researchers, scholars and practitioners in the area of (second) language and (inter)cultural learning who already engage in or would like to become involved in performative activities and to conduct research into these. It represents the third edition, with previous Summer Schools held in Padova (2017) and Grenoble (2019).
The 2024 Summer School is being organised in collaboration with Drama in Education Days (DiE Days) and as such adopts a truly multilingual and interdisciplinary approach, with the participation of scholars from the fields of applied drama, arts education, linguistics, applied linguistics, literature and cultural studies. It will involve a number of papers, but most of the week will be devoted to workshops, offered in both English and Italian. The performative approaches explored within this Summer School place emphasis on acknowledging and exploiting the complex linguistic repertoires of language learners, in contexts both of migration and the internationalisation of higher education. The Summer School will also provide sessions on innovative (arts-based) research methodology for investigating performative practice, which will be of interest to both young researchers, teachers, and experienced scholars. There will also be “show and tell” sessions when participants will be invited to share their work with the group.
The language of the Summer School is English, but there will be parallel workshops in French and Italian.
