1. Research proposals

The research network ITYARN is one of the organisers of the conferenceCradle of Creativity: Examining intercultural exchange and diversity in theatre for young audiences”, that is part of the ASSITEJ World Congress. The organisers welcome research proposals that reflect analysis and celebration of collaborations and intercultural projects about theatre for children and youth across the world.

The organisation has developed some thematic strands that speak to the exciting developments in research into theatre for and with children and youth, but these are by no means fixed or isolated categories. These are just a few of them: intercultural exchange: cultural norms and values; citizenship and social justice; interdisciplinary and integrated arts. For a complete overview, click here.
