Qingshan Elementary and Junior High School, New Taipei City — [I'm With You: From the Theater to Everyday Life]

This course uses "From Theater to Everyday Life" as its core pathway, integrating empathic learning from issue-based learning into a cross-disciplinary design that combines "Performing Arts × Counseling × Life Technology." It guides students through a learning loop of "Situation—Emotion—Choice—Action": first, experiencing situations within a safe framework, identifying emotions and positions; then, practicing making choices and proposing intervention strategies; and finally, transforming insights into works and actions that can be used daily and repeatedly reminded of. The course explicitly incorporates the five dimensions of Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Interpersonal Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making into its teaching guidance and task design. By "creating psychological distance," starting with seemingly distant social events, students can understand others' situations with less defensiveness, reflecting on their own interpersonal difficulties and value choices on campus, supporting them in making more mature and responsible judgments and responses in campus interactions and social issues.

★Experiencing "Artistic Participation and Social Action": From Observation to Participation

The course uses immersive/interactive theater to create a "I am here" physical experience. Through teacher immersion, role-playing, and peer response, students move from "understanding the situation" to "proposing intervention strategies": not only describing the problem, but also practicing how to approach, speak, and act at critical moments, transforming empathy into feasible action proposals.

★Supporting realism with "digital media and online mastery":VR/360 Let empathy be seen

The course utilizes VR immersion and 360° video creation to enable students to not only "discuss empathy" but also to use digital media to organize situations, sounds, and perspectives into works that are "viewable, re-enterable, and responsive." Through repeated viewing and peer feedback, students deepen their reflections, making empathy a visible process of understanding.

★"Aesthetic reflection and awareness" connect to emotional identification: practicing judgment between reality and illusion.

Through activities such as ball tossing and catching, soundscapes, role-playing, empty chairs, and writing, the course helps students identify emotions and become aware of their role/self within a safe framework. Students practice understanding the potential impact of the same sentence or action in different tones, relationships, and power positions, leading to more responsible choices (from emotion to decision). Simultaneously, the course uses "reality and illusion" as its primary aesthetic form, reinforcing the central theme that "real life has no narration," allowing students to bring the judgment exercises from drama back into their daily lives..
