Invitation to the 2012 IDEA General Council Meeting


Dear IDEA members worldwide,

At the meeting of the IDEA Executive Committee held in Swansea, Wales, in April 2011, the decision to hold our next General Council meeting in New-Zealand, in April 2012, was confirmed.

The meeting will be co-hosted by Drama NZ in Wellington from Saturday 21st April 2012 to Monday 23rd April 2012, just after their national conference “With Beads of Light”, which will be held between Wednesday 18th April 2012 and Friday 20th April 2012.

As the meeting is taking place in New-Zealand, we hope that more IDEA delegates and members from Australia and Pacific Asia will be able to participate, both in IDEA’s meetings as well as in the Conference programme. The official invitation, to see http://www.dramatool.org/en/library/view/2089/
