SCIENCE DRAMA FESTIVAL

The concept of institutionalizing the Science Drama contests arose from the effectiveness with which the massage of Science could be communicated through enactment of play. This has become more effective if children get involved into such play. This programme is organized to encourage the students, teachers and other science communicators to explore and experiment with the dramatic form as a mean of communication. Theatre or drama is an age-old cultural form of our society, which has been used through ages for entertainment, recreation and also as a medium of social interaction. In other words, directing the society in an indirect way, thus bringing a social change.

By understanding the effectiveness of this medium and also to involve more youngsters to participate in this creative medium, an attempt is made to organise a science drama festival. Initially the festival will be held in the unit level, Zonal level and eventually it will be at the National level at Kolkata. Thus bring the students of different states, languages, and culture to interact, exchange and explore this medium of education-THEATRE.
