About DramActivate
At DramActivate, we believe language learning should never be mechanical- it should be memorable, meaningful, and full of human connection.
DramActivate
Founded by Evi Karydi, an experienced EFL educator, accredited storyteller, drama practitioner, and teacher trainer, DramActivate grew from a simple yet powerful idea:
When learners move, imagine, and feel, they truly learn.
More than 15 years ago, Evi began experimenting with drama and storytelling techniques inside her own language school, iLearn. What started as creative classroom exploration evolved into a complete teaching philosophy, and in 2022, it took its final form as DramActivate – an international platform dedicated to helping teachers create M&M lessons: Memorable & Meaningful learning experiences.
A Global Presence
DramActivate’s training truly knows no boundaries. Delivered live on Zoom, Evi’s courses have reached teachers across Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and Australia, creating a global community of inspired educators.
Evi has brought DramActivate to major conferences and organisations worldwide, including:
- IDEA Conference (China)
- BETA Annual Conference (Bulgaria)
- Drama in Education (DiE) Conference (Uppsala, Sweden)
- Music & Drama Education Expo (London)
- TESOL events in France, Greece, Spain, Mexico, and Azerbaijan
- APPI Annual Conference (Portugal)
- Bright Start International Conference – Early Years Excellence in Practice (UK)
- Storytelling & Education online conferences
- And a live 2-day Drama & Storytelling Masterclass at the Metropolitan University of Athens with storyteller David Heathfield
Whether online or face to face, Evi’s work centres on one goal:
empowering teachers to bring English to life through drama, story, movement, and imagination.
Through hands-on online courses, in-person workshops, and conference sessions, DramActivate helps educators transform any syllabus into a vivid learning experience where students speak, act, imagine, and remember.
