El Grupo de Trabajo de Communicaciones
The Communications Working Committee (CWC) lies at the heart of IDEA's strategy to extend its membership, regionalise its organisation, dynamise its communication and deepen its authority as a world advocate of drama/theatre education.
Broad Aims of the Communications Working Committee
1. To disseminate IDEA's aims, vision, living history and current projects to deepen its authority;
2. To 'publish' (in the broadest sense of the word!) IDEA's good practice and diverse pedagogical proposals;
3. To build a continuous, dynamic dialogue between IDEA's national and individual members throughout the world to stimulate solidarity, motivation, the exchange of experience, and project collaboration;
4. To develop quality translation to ensure cultural equity between IDEA's official languages, based on a respect for cultural difference;
Specific Aims of the CWC
1. To prepare publicity materials and pedagogical products for all relevant conferences;
2. To communicate with individual participants from past IDEA congresses and to proactively network with drama/theatre education practitioners, projects and organisations outside IDEA;
3. To use print and digital media to preserve IDEA's memory and to stimulate pedagogical evaluation, innovation and 'formation';
4. To gradually extend IDEA's official languages to include a major language from Africa and Asia;
The CWC is about to take a new step forward through the appointment of its Director of Communications, Kami Leslie kamileslie@iium.edu.mo.
