  • Theatre for Young Audiences in Africa – sharing the diversity of approaches from across the continent
  • Inclusive theatre – focusing on new approaches to ensuring access for all children and young people to theatre
  • Eco-theatre – exploring how theatre can empower children and young people to effective action to support the future of our planet
