Abstract

Cultural sustainability is a very important concept. Drama can be considered in the area of cultural sustainability as well. Throughout the history of Turkish education, learning drama gained importance both in educational sciences as a teaching method and in arts education. The years of 1980s-1990s-2000s-2010s can be accepted as appropriate years to analyze the sustainability of drama. The purposes of this study are to obtain opinions of experts coming from different decades; to conduct interviews; to investigate how the transitions occurred among those decades and the reasons of this sustainability. In this qualitative research, data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis techniques. Participants will be chosen from four different decades.

Summary

Introduction

2005-2015 is the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development focusing on learning how to make decisions that balance and integrate the long-term future of the economy, the natural environment and the wellbeing of all communities, near and far, and in the future (http://www.unesco.org/education) (Drama Australia, 2014). The use of creative drama in the classroom is a student-focused process where experiential learning can be fostered and developed within any given curriculum. Sustaining: it helps sustain people, communities and ecosystems; Tenable: it is ethically defensible, working with integrity, justice, respect and inclusiveness; Healthy: it is itself a viable system, embodying and nurturing healthy relationships and emergence at different system levels; Durable: it works well enough in practice to be able to keep doing it (Cited in Drama Australia, 2014)
