1) Studying drama at school can be a positive, life-enhancing experience for children. It can improve confidence and help to combat (καταπολεμήσουν) shyness, which many young children struggle with. However, many claim that if performing is taken too seriously it can make children too competitive, stressed and diminish (μειώνει) their confidence if they are not successful. This could make them less likely to thrive in (ευδοκιμήσουν σε) social interactions with school friends and work colleagues later on in life.
2) Confidence is vital for young people who need to excel (υπερτερώ) in higher education and in the workplace. One way children can improve their confidence is to study drama at school, as it can help combat shyness and help to develop social skills. Drama can improve a child’s confidence because once they get used to performing in front of an audience, they will feel more able to speak out in other social situations.
3) Studying drama enables children to relax and have fun in social settings, which is vital for improving confidence. It also provides a perfect setting for children to make friends as they will have to work together in a team, which calls for increased communication. Children can then foster (ενισχύσουν) these relationships outside of the classroom.
On the other hand, drama increases competition in children and serves to diminish their confidence if they are not successful. Drama is a competitive subject because children will compete for the best roles. This can lead to children becoming overly competitive with their peers and stressed if they fail to win a role they wanted. This failure can also make a child feel rejected and worthless and could damage their self-esteem (αυτοεκτίμηση) and confidence
