the cooperation
between the individual amateur theatre associations and
amateur theatre groups and the organization of European
projects and events. A European network is being
established by:
- developing and improving communication and
cooperation amongst European Amateur Theatre and
supporting transnational and national European
projects
- developing increased cooperation and exchange of
information between the three European Regional
Committees of AITA/IATA, CEC, CIFTA and NEATA, as well as
other European regions and /or countries
- promoting and supporting European Youth Exchange
through theatre festivals and camps, workshops,
encounters and school theatre programmes
- assisting with the planning and organizing of
European, regional, and national projects of Amateur
Theatre, drama teaching and education
- organizing conferences to further international
development and exchange in all fields of drama and
making the results available to a broader public
- publishing regularly news/information on Festivals,
Workshops, etc.
In order to achieve
these targets, the European Centre Européen built up
in 1993 a data base and archives of the European Amateur
Theatre to disseminate information on events, training,
groups and individual artists. Moreover, AITA/IATA´s
address book 1994 was based upon this data base. A
systematology of the data base was developed which is
available at the European Centre
Européen.
In the beginning of
January 1997 the European Centre Européen was
connected to the Internet. This has facilitated and
improved the communication within AITA/IATA and contributes
essentially to the network of amateur theatre.
