UNDERSTANDING DESIGN THINKING IN CLASSROOM DRAMA

Look at “ Gender Equality” in the context of design thinking tools and case studies from rural parts of India. 

In this workshop we will be integrating Design thinking and classroom drama. Design thinking provides a non-linear user centred framework which can be easily adapted in any classroom setting. In our workshop, participants will get to understand “what”, “how” design thinking, can be adapted in drama activities and exercises. Case studies around “Gender equality” from rural parts of India will serve as a catalyst to dissect both the worlds of design thinking and drama.



In the current scenario, India ranks 140th in World Economic Forum's gender gap index 2021. In our country, most of the young girls and women are vulnerable which makes them struggle everyday for their basic human rights. We have tailored the workshop keeping in mind the needs of educators at classroom settings. Participants will have hands-on experience with the “Design Thinking” framework and “Classroom Drama'' that will aid them with resources to use in their classroom to start the conversation around gender and take the action forward in the communities.
