The FIGHT THE FRIGHT project proposes an innovative approach that uses performance arts disciplines, including drama and storytelling, to build a package of innovative learning educational resources to build key transversal skills of adults.
In a pedagogic context, the performing arts of storytelling and drama in language learning to overcome the obstacles in public speaking are now considered appropriate techniques for critical competence building.
