Drama-based techniques are among the most effective tools used to educate people. Research has shown that 95% of participants who take part in courses that use drama pass the course and remember what they have learned. Because drama appeals to all five senses at the same time, it also penetrates our memory in different ways. Training that uses drama-based techniques can also transform the behaviour of participants, thereby more effectively changing their working environments.
