Project description:

The main objective of the project is to support the efforts of the Association of Theater Educators (ATE) in the expansion and promotion of Theatre Audience Development within proffesional theatres. Within the project we will raise the awareness of the profession of theater educator and popularize it for both professional and wider public. We will support the Association of Theater Educators and its process of professionalization. The project activities will provide further professional development of already existing theater educators – members of ATE. Designed activities will provide training of new theater educators - university students and theatre professionals and it will also enable networking among theater educators and theatres.

During the project we will create strategies for theatre audience development which will be partly implemented into the theatres. We will create web platform about Education in Theatre.
