Projects
IDEA's projects are selected and developed in consultation with its international Projects Working Committee, in accordance with IDEA's strategic plan, current priorities, and project categories which ensure learning, autonomy and sustainability. Please read this document as a guide to developing your own project proposals.
IDEA's Project Development Strategy
1. Aim for and guarantee an equality of project action across the continents;
2. Prioritize the development of membership and networks in the 'developing world' through ‘twinning’ projects;
3. Prioritize projects that develop IDEA’s regional websites, towards an interactive world-wide website;
4. Prioritize projects that are committed to learning exchange and self-sustainable continuity.
IDEA's Current World Project Priorities
1: Dramas/Theatres of Solidarity & Healing (ie: Aids and Peace Education);
2: Intercultural Theatre (ie: International youth theatre training and exchanges);
3: Celebration of International Dialogues about Drama/Theatre Pedagogy in Action (ie: regional and world congresses, exhibitions and publications);
4: Developing the interactive IDEA world-wide website (ie: e-publications and special interest e-debates).
IDEA's Project Categories
1. Supported Projects: local or national projects supported by IDEA, aimed at becoming 'collaborative projects';
2. Collaborative Projects: ‘twinning’ projects between and developed through the participation of IDEA members;
3. World Projects: local, national or international projects that directly contribute to one of IDEA's world project priorities.
