Georgia Antoniou, Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network

Georgia Antoniou has been a maths teacher since 2002. In 2009 she was assigned to a public school. After initially focusing on preparing students for national exams, she realised that there was a lack of activities centred on fostering the children’s emotional development and social skills, which drove her to create a school drama group. In 2019–2020, she participated in the “Theatre in the New School” programme by the National Theatre of Greece. After that, she took part in the National Theatre of Greece’s “Teachers’ Academy” (project manager: Sofia Vgenopoulou) for two years (2020–2022). She has attended numerous seminars from the Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network (TENet-GR) and actively participates in the “it could be me – it could be you” programme. She believes that teaching art in schools can help children to understand the value of diversity and to learn how to express themselves creatively.
