Active methologies and project work: educate through the theater

Educating in values and providing primaryschoolstudents with skillsisan unavoidable educational duty. The aim of this paper is to create a programme for the conveyance of values and the acquisition of skills through theatre. The purpose will be to help teachers and tutors to introduce and develop the values and competencies proposed in the current legislation with a highly motivating activity increasingly recognized within the field of active methodologies. For this reason, we legally and theoretically justify the elements that define the Education in values; seek arguments and evidence that justify the use of the theatre as an introductory tool to the value-based teaching and learning process; and prove that the theatre is a highly motivating and unifying tool for the entire educational community throughout the the development of a proposal. In general terms, it can be observed that this activity makes students feel like protagonists, establishing and complying with rules and commitments that they themselves have set, improving the classroom climate.
