Nonetheless, an excellent initial step is to conduct an introductory workshop. This workshop can serve as a foundation upon which teachers and schools can make informed decisions about the program&#8217;s direction, tailoring it to their specific needs and interests.<\/span><\/p><p><b>The introductory workshop &#8211; Introduction to Theatre-in-Education (TiE)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Education Policy of 2020 mandates the inclusion of theatre and art as integral components of the teaching and learning process. While many teachers incorporate theatre into their teaching methods, it often remains confined to activities like role plays and simple reenactments of scenes and stories, primarily aimed at conveying the lesson&#8217;s message<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This restricted approach fails to harness the full potential of this potent experiential methodology.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Structure<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This introductory workshop comprises three primary objectives.\u00a0 The workshop is structured in three parts to address these objectives:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><a href=\"#Topic-Demystify TiE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demystify TiE and Gain a Comprehensive

experiential training per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Follow-up<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BLT facilitators would be accessible to review additional lesson plans implemented by
