EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 19/06/2026These were all experiences through which we could get a glimpse of each other’s cultural literacy.

EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 31/03/2026The group reflected on how the tools of debate theatre could be applied in a classroom setting. Based on the experience of the workshop — it’s definitely worth trying! 000
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Together with teachers from diverse backgrounds, we participated in a debate theatre session, watched short films created by students using this approach, and formulated provocative statements inspired by mandatory readings in Hungary. 100

EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Starting from safely mirrored emotions, participants created poems, played with analogies, and improvised scenes inspired by poetry. The group left with plenty of inspiration and practical ideas for their work — and this was only the first of two occasions to dive into EXPECT Art methods! 000
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 21/03/2026InSite Drama organized two events in Budapest where teachers and youth workers had the opportunity to explore the methods and learn about the experiences from Kristóf Horváth focusing on how we can pay attention to children’s feelings and thoughts without invalidating them in the learning process. 100
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 26/02/2026If supported by skilled facilitation, the arts practices have the potential to become powerful media for critical engagement. When young people feel that their input is not valued or taken into consideration, they are more likely to comply passively with tasks rather than engage critically. 000
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Such barriers include rigid curricula, time pressures, marginalisation of arts education, a neoliberal emphasis on subjects perceived as contributing to future employability, and dominant national or Eurocentric cultural frameworks, to name just a few. 100
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 26/02/2026This perception is shaped by several factors. Even when teachers successfully integrate artistic formats into lessons, barriers may prevent these from becoming opportunities for engaging children’s experiences and deepening their critical reflection. 100
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Research in local communities & schools has come to an end and we've gained several interesting insights. In the Slovenian case, for example, pupils enjoy artistic practices. However, they may view them as “just fun” activities (unstructured/chaotic), rather than as a legitimate educ. approach. 100
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 24/02/2026✨ Thank you to the children for their courage, creativity and imagination, and to everyone who supported the process. P.s. Thank you to Lucija and mum of our Elf for the beautiful photos. 📸💜 000

EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 24/02/2026The final step of the process was the staging of the play, which the children presented a few days ago, sharing it with the local community😍. The children themselves came up with the costume ideas🪡, co-created the set ✂️and took an active part in all the decisions. 100
EXPECT_Art @expectart.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Stories in action📚🎭 Slovenian team finished this year's theatre club with the theatre play "Fairy Tales in Action."
