IDEA members event...
On March 29th from 12pm UTC IDEA is organizing a webinar “Drama/Theatre in Education: Festivals”
Many of IDEA members invest a lot of work in preparing and organizing international, regional or national festivals, where students/children/youngsters present their shows/plays in a public space/theatre to other student-theatre-groups and to a big audience of experts like drama teachers, theatre pedagogues, education-policy-makers and media.
If you want to join our webinar and learn about the festivals IDEA members organize around the world, register by writing an email to IDEA Administrator at ad.ideadrama@gmail.com
After registration, our Administrator will send you the Zoom link.

IDEA member The Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network (TENet-Gr) is organising the International Conference “Theatre/Drama & Inclusive Education” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the project “It could be me, it could be you” a project for raising awareness about human rights and refugees, and to mark the completion of the project “Theatre Makes Politics”.
The aim of the 2025 International Conference “Theatre/Drama & Inclusive Education” is to serve as an international interdisciplinary meeting for the exchange of pedagogical, artistic, and socio-political practices and research in the fields of inclusive education and applied performing arts. Its goal is to serve the values of equality and justice and to promote education without exclusion for all students and learners regardless of their identities, their vulnerabilities, and their ethnic, cultural, religious, or linguistic background.
Furthermore, the purpose is to combat hate speech, xenophobia, and racism in any form through the emergence of new applied artistic practices that connect theatricality, embodied practice, and new audiovisual technologies with pedagogical and social action.

From May 20 to May 26, we are celebrating International Arts Education Week!
As advocates for Arts Education, the WAAE invites you to ‘draw a line’, ‘to play a line’, ‘to make a line’, ‘to sing a line’, ‘to dance a line’ that reflects your aspirations, your aims for arts education in your community. Reflect on your – ‘line in the sand’, ‘your bottom line’, ‘your end of the line’, and determine what needs to be done to maintain and grow arts education. Is a ‘life line’ or/and ‘timeline’ required for arts education as we move forward.
Arts education inspires creativity, expression, and thoughtful critique. Arts education articulates and activates culture and much more. Arts education is an essential part of education, but should it not be present, where do you stand on the place of arts education in your community, your school, your home, your life? What will you do to fight for arts education? How far does arts education have to ‘cross the line’ or slip from your school curriculum, your life before you say STOP. Before you say, ‘here is where I make my stand, this is where I draw the line in the sand’.
International Arts Education Week begins by the action Ring the Bells for Arts Education, created by IDEA. The action takes place on the first day of the WAAE commemorations of the International Arts Education Week, May 20th at noon, by ringing bells or sounding other instruments as a sign of support for arts education. It is a 24-hours world action, as we pass the time zones at noon. We also ask you to record a short video , or make a photo of the action and post it on your social media accounts, with the hashtags: #BellsForArtsEd #ArtsEdWeek #WAAE #IDEA
On 21st and 22nd of May, a WAAE Webinar Conversations Around the UNESCO Framework for Culture and Education will be held. The webinars aim to foster open dialogue or conversation about the UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education (The Framework) that was proclaimed in Abu Dhabi 13-15 February 2024. Each Webinar will be chaired by different members from the WAAE, though the following topics will occur in both webinars. Each webinar will be approx. one hour long and will be recorded.
