Theatre in Education

Theatre in Education: Collaborations between Science and Arts

We collaborate with the Nepali Theatre with the aims to conduct the awareness program regarding snakes, human-snake conflict mitigations and snake conservation in Nepal. We also collaborate with the hospitals that provide us museum specimens of snakes for educational purposes. We display museum specimens and different educational materials in our stall. Whenever we got a rescue call and rescue the snake, we show some of the rescued snakes to the audiences/visitors before releasing them into the natural habitats. During the drama show for different schools, we also conduct informative classes inside the hall to educate students and teachers. We distribute our educational materials to the audiences/visitors. When audiences also show interest to learn the snake handling methods, we show them non-venomous snake handling methods as well. This is probably for the first of its kind in Nepal that the audiences not only get good time to enjoy the drama but also get opportunities to see live snakes and learn to handle them (non-venomous snakes only).
