Young IDEA
The post of Director of Young IDEA was introduced into the IDEA Executive Committee in 2004. As such, it is still very much being defined in relation to the Young IDEA experiences from past World Congresses and the current debates that have shaped the design and practice of the International Young IDEA Project (IYIP).
The current definitions of Young IDEA
1. any group of young people working in the theatre
2. a group of young people linked working with a member of IDEA
3. a group of young people linked to an IDEA national association or group
4. or any group of young people invited to attend and perform in the IDEA World Congress
5. a project
The formation Young IDEA
1. each member association starts by identifying at least one group of young people to be linked to their association;
2. each association involves its group of young people in as much of their activities as possible.
Young IDEA should be recognized as one among best practices of IDEA. Therefore we need to trace those who have so far taken part in the Young IDEA programs in past World Congresses. The YIWC is therefore researching:
- who they are
- where they are
- what they are doing
- what impact Young IDEA made on them
- their proposals for the future of Young IDEA
