IDEA Austria is part of a worldwide association: IDEA

IDEA-AUSTRIA sees itself as a hub within Austria and beyond – linking (Austrian and non-Austrian) professional associations, teacher training colleges and universities with the national and international community.

As a non-profit association, IDEA-AUSTRIA aims to promote and strengthen performative teaching and learning methods, cultural participation and personal empowerment within the education system.

In doing so, IDEA-AUSTRIA also makes valuable contributions to aesthetic education and personal development.

IDEA-AUSTRIA works in collaboration with the nine regional associations within the umbrella organisation ÖBV Theater (Austrian Federal Association for Non-Professional Theatre) and participates as an independent association in national and international activities and projects.

IDEA-AUSTRIA seeks to collaborate with European and international institutions that promote art and culture in an educational context. It sees itself as a partner to European and international organisations working in the field of ‘Drama in Education’; it fosters collaboration and cross-border professional dialogue

IDEA-AUSTRIA aligns itself with the objectives of the ‘Theatre in Schools’ network. This network encompasses all types of schools and all subjects and operates nationwide. Interested educators can find various events at teacher training colleges – particularly at the University of Education Lower Austria (Baden near Vienna).
Interested teachers from Europe and beyond are invited to contact IDEA-AUSTRIA.
