France

In France, the mobility focused upon the impact of waste on climate change and how we are all impacted by it in different ways. Using structured drama strategies such as still image, role play and thought tracking, students explored perspectives linked to community impact, environmental justice and personal responsibility. These approaches helped them consider how people might feel, what challenges they face and how assumptions can shape behaviour.

Activities required students to use body, voice and gesture with care, encouraging them to think about how meaning is communicated without relying solely on words. Alongside this, they practised key social skills including negotiation, questioning and effective collaboration, all of which supported them in working respectfully and purposefully with their peers.

Throughout the workshops, students were encouraged to reflect on themes such as tolerance, respect and cultural diversity. Discussions helped them connect the drama work to real‑world issues, strengthening their ability to analyse situations from multiple viewpoints.

The French mobility demonstrated how structured drama activities can support young people in developing empathy, improving communication and engaging thoughtfully with complex social topics. The focus on waste and climate change provided a clear, relatable context for examining how everyday actions contribute to wider environmental challenges. Through approaches such as still image, role play and group discussion, students explored the different ways waste affects communities, ecosystems and individual wellbeing. The work encouraged them to think critically about personal responsibility, ask informed questions and consider how small changes can have a meaningful impact.
