"天下大同" (tiān xià dà tóng)

- Constructing a harmonious Cultural, Artistic, and Spiritual Home for Humanity through Drama and Theatre.

"天下大同"is an important strand in ancient Chinese thought, expressing our ancestors' hopeful vision of harmonious coexistence among all people in the world. The IDEA2024 Congress invites you to use drama as a medium to spread, communicate, and understand the spirit and civilization of people from various ethnic backgrounds.

By contributing to the construction of a shared destiny for humanity, let us work together with people from all over the world to realize the concept of "Each Beautiful in Their Own Way, the Beauty of Humanity, Beauty Shared, A Harmonious World."

Fulfilling the IDEA vision

IDEA exists to provide an international forum for communicating about, promoting and advocating for drama/theatre and education. IDEA congresses support the development of drama/theatre practice and theory as part of a full human education.

Co-hosting IDEA2024 with IDEAC, our IDEA member, is a practical way of bringing together a community that shares a vision for drama and theatre education. Our broad IDEA2024 Congress aim is to bring together an international community of teachers, artists, scholars, educators, young people and students to share drama practice and knowledge about approaches and innovations in the fields of drama, theatre, the arts and education.

Congress Format

The Congress will be designed for people taking part either:

* in person in Beijing

* online through technology.

The program provides keynotes, academic research paper presentations, workshops, social events, and performances.

The Congress in Context

These are exciting times for drama education in China. There are increasing opportunities for drama in the revised curriculum. Teachers see the need to learn more about using drama for learning. Parents and leaders see the value of drama for communication and building confidence. Students see practical ways of expressing ideas and sharing them.

Building on the work of the last 10 years, IDEAC is ready to lead and support greater understanding of the potential of drama education.

Logo

Concept:

* The image is derived from the Chinese character "同" (tóng), corresponding to the theme of this congress - Constructing a harmonious Cultural, Artistic, and Spiritual

Home for Humanity through Drama and Theatre. This theme aligns with the ancient Chinese philosophical idea of "天下大同" (tiān xià dà tóng).

* The central position features the English name of IDEA, symbolizing the journey of the 10th IDEA and IDEAC crossing nine lines to form a portal in time and space, leading to the 2024 congress.

* Above the doorframe, the Arabic numerals 2024 are formed from traditional Chinese patterns, representing the cultural uniqueness of the 2024 congress.

* The logo as a whole resembles a theater, symbolizing how drama transcends the boundaries of time and space, leading people to a magical world.

Welcome to the 9th conference of IDEA (International Drama Education Association) DRAMA 4ALL. Drama for tall and small. Celebrating drama in a changing world that will be held in Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, the 4th - 8th of July 2022. We welcome all drama educators, cultural workers, theatre artists, researchers, teachers and students from all over the world to this common arena for inspiration and development. It is hosted by FLISS (The Icelandic Drama in Education Association) and the University of Iceland, School of Education (UI).

It is an honour for FLÍSS and UI to have the opportunity of hosting an international congress of that size on the subject of drama/theatre and education in collaboration with IDEA. Iceland is one of the leading countries when it comes to implementing drama in compulsory education. In 2013 drama was established as a key learning area in the arts in Icelandic basic education and is, in the curriculum, presented both as a subject and as a method in teaching other subjects.

By hosting the congress FLISS and the UI aim to celebrate drama as a subject in its own right in compulsory education as part of the curriculum

Welcome to the process of IDEA 2010!
The 7th World Congress of IDEA, IDEA 2010, Live, Living Diversity! Embracing the Arts of Transformation!, affirmed two interlinked priorities for the 21st Century: to celebrate and practice cultural diversity as a guarantee of living participatory democracy; and to embrace pedagogies based in our artistic languages, popular cultures and knowledges and skills of transformation to democratize our world and community to enable us to create a sustainable human future.

IDEA 2010 was hosted by the Brazilian Network of Arteducators (ABRA) in the city of Belém in Pará, north of Brazil, a principal gateway to the Amazon, to practice these priorities. Belém is one of the world stages for contemporary debate about environment and sustainability, located in a region of extraordinary cultural diversity. To guarantee an authentic experience of this region and an intimate participatory world congress as a process rather than an event, IDEA 2010 was developed through four years of local, national and world-wide pedagogical consultation, exchange and celebration.

In this first Latin American IDEA World Congress, ABRA embraced an important opportunity to strengthen the role of performance languages and of popular cultures in the construction of a new paradigm of education for our century. ABRA anticipated the World Congress with Towards IDEA 2010, a series of actions and collaborative projects between the communities of Belém and the world to guarantee environmental sensitivity, social transformation and community development.

This CD-Rom shares the story and fruits of that collective process, as lived by its coordinators, to record and nourish the continuing quest for a new paradigm of cooperation and sustainability.

We include the music Alerta Amazônia by Mestre Zequinha and Latinhas de Quintal (Cabelo Seco, Marabá, Pará, Brazil) to celebrate the popular culture of the Amazonian region. Its worth listening to, while you read!
