Ep 92Théâtre et apprentissage
Walid Mbarek partage avec nous sa passion pour le théâtre comme outil d’apprentissage.

Il contribue également au bien-être en renforçant l’estime de soi et en réduisant le stress grâce à une approche ludique et créative. Sur le plan collectif, le théâtre favorise la collaboration et l’intelligence relationnelle, en encourageant les élèves à travailler ensemble, à écouter activement et à comprendre les perspectives des autres, ce qui enrichit la dynamique de classe.
