Welcome, friends and friends in future!
There is an innate need for humans to connect. During the present pandemic, however, we have not been able to connect. It was as if our entire social lives had been suddenly put to a halt. Digital devices, as helpful as they may be, cannot replace real-life encounters. Despite all these obstacles we will stay in motion. Let us move towards each other, with empathy and a willingness to listen and interact by expressing our values and visions instead of letting ourselves be defeated by our fears and/or one-sided world views.
We need to be courageous – now more than ever. We need to ask ourselves who we are, who we want to be as human beings and what kind of society we want to live in. We need to listen to the younger generation when they raise these questions, when they stand up for their convictions being committed to current issues such as sustainability and human equality. It is our duty to support young people to be brave and take calculated risks and it is our duty to help create a society that fosters critical thinking and independence of thought and action.
One way to ensure all that is to give young people the opportunity to gain personal experience and learn new skills through Drama in Education by exploring their own selves, exploring who they are and who they want to be. Individually and together, they should act out what is and can be. Connecting people through drama offers new perspectives. We expect nothing less than that from the Drama/Theatre in Education Conference 2022.
The detailed program will be announced soon!

- OEBV Theater (Austrian Federal Association for Non-professional Theatre)
- IDEA AUSTRIA (International Drama/Theatre Education Association, Austria)
