Live, Living Diversity! Embracing the Arts of Transformation!
With this 3rd edition of the bulletin Towards IDEA 2010, we attempt to involve a larger number of organizations, practi tioners, researchers and ‘the curious’ about how to collaborate and act, locally and globally, to participate in this movement! The IDEA 2010 project is being developed to be more than just an event. Its continuity will depend on the processes of training, cultural action in school and the community, and solidarity project collaborations leading to the congress. In the last 3 months, we have dedicated ourselves to developing project applications and negotiating with local and national government to guarantee the IDEA 2010 structures.
About IDEA
With member associations representing more than 50 countries around the globe, the International Drama/Theatre and Education Association aims to promote and advocate drama/theatre as part of a full human education and to provide an international forum for those working as drama/theatre educators throughout the world. Members of each member association are automatically accepted as members of I.D.E.A. by virtue of their organization's status as a member association.
IDEA's ongoing activities include publications, projects, international congresses and meetings, the dissemination of research and the international exchange of drama/theatre workers. Previous world congresses have been held in Porto, Portugal in 1992, in Brisbane, Australia in 1995, and Kisumu, Kenya in 1998.
OBJECTIVES
The International Drama/Theatre and Education Association (IDEA), established in Oporto in July 1992, has adopted the following objectives:
- to offer a forum for meeting and discussion to individual persons, groups and
institutions throughout the world, who are working and campaigning for the
universal right to arts education and in particular to the place of drama/theatre
in the education of each person;
- to facilitate international communication and dissemination of information
through publications and the organization of seminars, workshops and
symposia, conferences, etc. on subjects relevant to drama/theatre and education;
- to support the development of research into the theory and practice of
drama/theatre and education, particularly through the dissemination of
research reports within the international community;
- to promote and encourage regional, national and international initiatives
consistent with the objectives by facilitating the exchange of drama/theatre
observers, practitioners and educators.
IDEA is primarily composed of national associations working in the field of drama/theatre and education. Membership is open, however, on certain conditions, to regional organizations, other institutions and to individuals pursuing the same aims.
