CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - 11th Drama for Life Conference and Festival

-
Drama for Life is proud to announce the call for proposals, participation and attendance of the 11th Drama for Life Conference and Festival from the 8th to 17th of August 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Following last year’s extensive 10 days of conference and festival that celebrated 10 years of Drama for Life’s intersectional interrogation of transformation, this year’s conference and festival theme seeks to explore the role arts can play in creating a child-centred society. 
“Children are wholehearted, compassionate humans with an extraordinary capacity to make meaning of the world they live in. Children are a reminder of who we are; they are the cornerstone of our society’s future; they are the litmus test of our humanity. Yet we continue to fail our children, trapped by cycles of trauma, we forget who the real child is.” - Warren Nebe. 
Early childhood development is the most critical time for positive intervention, a process by which children from birth grow and thrive mentally, physically, morally, emotionally and socially. South Africa has made notable progress in developing children’s access to early childhood development and learning, nutrition and healthcare. According to Stats SA as of mid-2017, 19.6 million children (0- 17 years of age) are living in South Africa accounting for 35% of the country’s total population1
