This programme aims to encourage students, teachers, and other science communicators to explore and experiment with the dramatic form as a means of science communication.
The ‘Science Drama Competition’ is thus an excellent platform not only for showcasing artistic creativity but also for using the medium of drama as a potent tool for dealing with socio-scientific issues of current importance in our society.
