Studies in this field aim to create professionals with artistic and pedagogical education and practical experience for the needs of basic art education, for the gradual introduction of additional dramatic education in primary schools and drama in grammar schools and for a wide range of leisure activities, especially amateur theatre played by children, youth and adults, for the area of theatre activities of groups with special needs, for various types of theatre education (courses, seminars, theatre workshops, teaching activities in the field of amateur theatre, etc.). The field also focuses on research into the use of theatre activities in the field of pedagogy, especially in the field of theatre in education (forum theatre, participatory theatre, theatre productions projects), amateur theatre and the possibility of including dramatic art in general primary and secondary education.

Graduates of this field should be able to creatively use their education and practice in existing professions, but at the same time strive for the emergence of new opportunities for the field’s application in practice. The aim of the field is to educate independent creative personalities who can also work in the field of further education of teachers (courses and workshops for teachers of primary schools, art schools and pedagogical secondary schools, leaders of ensembles and interest groups).

The field intensively cooperates with other artistic and pedagogical fields of the Faculty of Theatre both in designing the studies and creating study plans, as well as in the field of research science.
