Emotions , expression and social connections , all of these primal elements of a healthy societal life are well practiced in our schools theater PON. Our teachers ,whom we've interviewed to get insight on their point of view of the project and it's fruitfulness , are talking about important factors that bring to the creating of this whole PON starting from their personal past and present experiences to their thoughts on theater and expression.

Along with them we decided to interview also all of the participants of the PON , we asked them the same questions about theater and expression and we came to realize that the contrast between students and teachers is a very beautiful and heartwarming result that highlights each and everyone's special personality, involvement and personal weight of the whole activity.

You can very well tell just by reading the interviews how this warming activity gets to be a special core memory for every participant, teachers and students.
