Educo Italia

We are a non-profit association concerned with promoting student-centred teaching/learning through the application of theatre and drama practices. Accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education, EDUCO utilizes the power of theatre and drama within a didactic framework to successfully teach English to Italian children all across Italy. Through our touring Theatre In Education company, TEATRINO, our English Summer Camp programme and our Teacher Training workshops, EDUCO has decades of experience in the field of ESL teaching. TEATRINO is acclaimed within both academic and theatre disciplines for an extensive repertoire which is the largest and most diverse of its kind in Italy. Drama is used as a powerful and effective ESL tool. In addition to Teatrino, we offer other projects which include; Theatre In Education (TIE) Days, English Summer Camps (held across Italy for Italian students), CLIL workshops(Content and Language Integrated Learning), and Teacher Training workshops where Italian teachers are given the tools to teach English using our methods and practices. Every year, over Italian students take part in our programmes. Plus, we also have international projects that take Italian students and teachers to English speaking countries for a complete language immersive experience. EDUCO recruits actors, performers, musicians, tutors, teachers and trainers from all over the world who are native English-speakers. This creative and cultural diversity contribute to our holistic approach to learning. Our ever-expanding team of Italian collaborators are based nationally in locations such as Sanremo, Milan, Naples, Rome and Sicily.
