MEDIATHEK

The Children’s Voice project is run by sixteen theatre organisations in Asia together with the Swedish Centre of the ITI and is co-financed by Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. It is a regional project where cooperation locally within countries, and regionally between countries, is boosted through exchanges and networking. 

The project is operating between 2004 and 2009, initially embracing work with professional theatre groups in India and Bangladesh. In 2007 the project area was broadened to also include China, Vietnam and Laos. 

This anthology deals mainly with experiences from India and Bangladesh during the earlier part of the project, reflecting experiences from a variety of perspectives on professional theatre for children, theatre training with children, theatre in schools and in teacher’s training.

 The voices of children represent the basis of the work with emphasis on children’s thoughts and views. Work focuses on development of an artistic theatre for children and youth, the ability of children and youth to work with creative forms of expression via drama at school and active efforts to reach vulnerable groups in society.
