Lack of communication between parents and

teenagers may lead to critical situations

affecting teenagers.

In the video a mother does not take into

account her daughter's feelings and wishes

and

imposes

her criterion on her education disregarding

her daughter's real wishes.

All this has a dramatic consequence on her

daughter.

In some cases this lack of communication

might lead to bad friens and even to

alcoholism or drug abuse.

Bullying

A teenage girl suffers bullying

from other girls at school

and outside it.

At the end dialogue is the

key to solve this situation.

This video is the results of the Creative Workshop activity within the Erasmus+ project "Drama&Theatre in Europe: an innovative path to education" The Italian Students of I.I.S.S. "E. Fermi"- Lecce decided to tackle the problem of difficult relationship parents-children. They created some stories and decided to write a letter to one of their parents.

Creative Workshop
This activity focused on creativity.
The aim was to motivate students to be more involved in the project activities and to disseminate the project among the other students at school Moreover it provided training in the very practical aspects of communication in English and in knowing and appreciating what is culturally valuable.
Firstly we informed the students about the activity. The creative workshop was held at each partners schools in the afternoon meetings. Students met once a week and firstly they discussed about the problem they would have liked to tackle. They agreed on the difficult relationship parents-children, bullying and the problems of drug abuse among some youngsters. After that students started motivating their choices of such problems. Most of them told about their lack of communication with their parents, some of them admitted feeling alone and not loved by one of the parents /being jealous of younger brother, etc.
In the case of bullying, some of them in the Spanish school admitted having suffered from that problem at some time in their school lives.
Some materials were recorded in video format and uploaded over Youtube and Google. The number of participants in the activities in all schools were of 20 students;

These activities have combined creativity and problems students face in everyday life following the CLIL methodology, cooperative learning and non formal learning
After the activities, the teachers prepared short questionnaires to assess the way the students responded to the activity and the procedure.
The average of respondents among the partners’ schools showed that 70% of students worked really hard, with great enthusiasm and regularity, they enjoyed the activities very much and could express their creativity a lot.
An average of 18% of them liked the activity but couldn’t attend regularly all the meetings for different reasons so their participation didn’t completely benefit from it.
12% of students of the six partners’ schools answered that the activities were not easy, they didn’t attend regularly because the school load of homework didn’t allow them.
