Dear IDEA friends and family, I wanted to share the very sad news that our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Robert Colby from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts in the US passed away yesterday after a year's long battle with pancreatic cancer. If you had the pleasure of knowing Robert, you'd know that he was a consummate theatre educator, a kind and gentle soul, a caring teacher, a dedicated mentor, and thoughtful scholar, and brilliant practitioner. Last year, the American Alliance of Theatre and Education (AATE) honored Bob with the Campton Bell Lifetime Achievement Award and Emerson College Created a new award in his honor. In the Spring on 2020, Emerson named their Kindness award after Bob - a testament to his kindness, dedication, and impact on his and our community. Please take a moment to think about Bob today. He was a huge influence in my career and practice and I am a better teacher, theatre maker and person because I got to know and work with Bob. I will miss him deeply and will be ever grateful for his influence on my life. https://today.emerson.edu/2021/04/05/sad-news-about-professor-robert-colby/ Peter Duffy |

Save the Date | WHERE DO WE STAND? WORLD MAPPING OF POLICIES, POLITICS AND DRAMA/ THEATRE EDUCATION | The Webinar has as its main goal to showcase different situations, case studies (including success and failure stories), tactics and strategies of organizations and groups dedicated to drama/theatre education. Members of IDEA, and the organization itself, are working on its common political goal of drama/theatre education for all in schools and communities. We need to get inspired and learn how to activate and reactivate programs (in schools and on-line) and empower our community to address cultures of policies and politics, influencing the decision makers about the situation of drama/theatre in our countries. | November 28 |

Invitation from ABRA As ABRA's international liaison coordinator, I would like to invite you (and the members of your national and professional networks), to participate in our 2020 webinar-based Good Living Forum. It will offer English, French and Spanish almost simultaneous translation, and is focussed on the transformation of climate collapse through arts-based pedagogies into an opportunity for nurturing Good Living as an alternative, plurinational paradigm project. Please ask those who are interested to get in touch with me. We are still experimenting in formats that allow us to create a participatory, intimate, creative and courageous methodology, and are interested in quality participation. So we will keep numbers to less than 60. Looking forward to hearing from you. All the best Dan Dan Baron Cohen whatsapp: 0055 91 98842 0521 |

With sadness, IDEA notes the death of Mine Lark, Chair of National Drama (UK)
| We are deeply sad to inform our IDEA members that Aine Lark, the Chair of National Drama, died in hospital on 27thSeptember 2020, after a short battle with cancer. She died peacefully, surrounded by her family. Aine was just 50 years old. Anyone who met Aine is going to remember her lovely smile, her considerable energy and her unstinting commitment to Drama, Theatre and Education in its many forms. Aine became Chair of National Drama in 2015, having been a long standing executive member of National Drama. As ND Chair, she attended IDEA Europe meetings and contributed committedly to the Theatre and Young People Manifesto at the World Alliance for Arts Education conference in Frankfurt. Aine was a secondary drama teacher, much loved and respected by her students and in recent years had started also teaching primary children at the boarding school where she worked. She was a tireless campaigner and avid networker, leading National Drama into working with and helping, a diverse range of partners in the world of drama and theatre education. Aine always rose cheerfully and enthusiastically, to any challenge. Just weeks before she died, she was relentlessly organising many CPD events online for National Drama, as well as continuing to teach her own students. She only stopped working for Drama, when her unexpected ill health forced her to. Aine will be sadly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her and work with her. She died too young but has given so much to others that lives on. Patrice Baldwin |

| A collection of resources for teachers who may be teaching in a time of Coronavirus COVID-19Schools may be closed. Teacher education and professional learning opportunities maybe moved on-line. Circumstances may be out of our collective immediate control. But the work of teaching and learning does not cease. Our need to adapt and improvise is one of our strengths as drama educators. Sometimes we just need to know where to start. I have been collecting some links and pointers to share that journey. You will find it here |
