It is aimed at age groups of pre-teens aged 11-12 but it could be tailored to the needs of younger or even older target groups.How do Christmas 🎄 decorations affect the mood and well-being of pre-teens? Can students share their own emotions and thoughts about what Christmas means to them? And could that sharing be turned into a piece of dramatic art? The workshop involves interacting in many different ways\, triggering both linguistic and kinesthetic awareness. 					\n						\n				\n				\n				\n								\n					Matilda Rizou studied English Literature and Linguistics at Aristotle University\, Thessaloniki and then pursued a Postgraduate Degree in Applied Translation Studies at Leeds University\, England.
