For primary and secondary schools, DidaDiv serves as a didactic tool for drama or art education lessons. However, it can also be used, for example, in history lessons. With the help of DidaDiv, teachers can work with pupils on different topics of the subject matter and, through their creative approach, involve them in a theatrical process aimed at a deeper understanding of the topic and creative processing by a team of students.
We are delighted that with the DidaDiv Ambassador Workshops in Schools we can continue our cooperation with DidaDiv Ambassador teachers and try out the process of creating puppet shows directly in schools with pupils.
In the 2023/2024 season we were organizing a series of Ambassador Didadiv Workshops, in which we introduce educators to the methodology of using puppet theatre in education. Thanks to the support of the NextGeneration funds of the European Union, the National Recovery Plan and the Ministry of Culture, the workshop was free of charge for the participants.
During 2023, the DidaDiv team was part of the Theatre for Democracy programme. In 2 workshops for teachers and 9 workshops for primary and secondary school students we tested how DidaDiv can be used as a complementary didactic tool in the classroom. The project was sponsored by the Archa Theatre and we collaborated with a number of experts. The result is a methodological guide for teachers and lecturers. The videos created during workshops can be seen zde.

In December, we lent a few pieces of DidaDiv to the Art Education instructors of the Karlín Studio 45 to paint it with the children, rehearse the performance and eventually shoot it. The result is 3 author videos, of which we recommend The Magic Unicorn from Space.
In the past, DidaDiv was used as part of the Healthy Lifestyle project at primary schools in the Liberec Region. There were 200 small performances reflecting previous lectures from the perspective of pupils. Here you can find videos which were created during his project.
