In education, performing arts offer crucial pedagogical tools, fostering verbal and non-verbal communication skills and essential ‘soft’ workplace skills. Particularly vital for minority communities due to cultural traditions, this qualitative action research centres on a Druze village elementary school in northern Israel. The study investigated a performing arts programme, designed to catalyse systemic pedagogical change, and prepare students for seamless integration into Israeli society. Data were collected through eleven interviews with the educational team. The study analyses the change process from initiation through implementation to institutionalization. Findings highlight how the successful integration of the performing arts programme enhanced pedagogical efficacy. This research emphasizes the performing arts’ pivotal role in education, showcasing its potential to drive transformative changes in minority settings.
