This rich diversity of practices is unified by three broad aims:
(a) to demonstrate and advocate drama/theatre education as part of a full human education, particularly through international project collaborations;
(b) to promote international dialogue and research around the practice and theory of drama/theatre and education; and
(c) to support the practice of drama/theatre and education to achieve human rights and peace throughout the world, particularly for young people, children and excluded communities threatened by violence.
