What is Dramatization

The main objective of this chapter is to raise awareness of the pedagogic potential of history of the Spanish Civil War, and its heritage, to develop a citizen education programme to foster critical citizenship. Today, more than ever, our complex and interrelated world is making us learn and live together. Not just because of solidarity, humanitarianism, or to practice the values of pluralism, as described in the civic education educational curricula, but because we must learn to live within the complexity of our world. We will talk about heritage, since each era generates objects, artifacts, and documents of all kinds, and wars are no exception. Thus, we propose pedagogic activities grounded on the use of heritage materials, which will be contributing to the work for a critical citizenry.
