The BH CENTRE FOR DRAMA EDUCATION
Centar za dramski odgoj Bosne i Hercegovine

CDO BiH

Educational drama uses a group of methods for teaching and learning which use drama expression. Drama expression means a way of expression in which real or imagined events are explored by unperformed role-play or performed improvisation.

The primary aim of drama education is to educate for life. It is meant for children and young people of all ages.

Drama education does not aim at training for professional work with drama arts.

The CENTRE FOR DRAMA EDUCATION BiH was formed with the aim of developing drama education in BiH.

The main tasks of the CENTRE FOR DRAMA EDUCATION are:

· The furtherance and development of drama education work, learning from the experiences of drama pedagogy in BiH;
· The furtherance and development of speech culture and culture of public events;
· The development of the methodology of drama education;
· Help in the work, and additional education, of teachers and educationalists for drama education work;
· Co-operation with educationalists and drama schools:
· Helping to promote drama-talented students;
· Preventing young people from any forms of addiction;
· Protecting the reputation and expertise of its members;
· Using drama education work in dealing with, and releasing, the consequences of trauma.

CDO BiH became a member of IDEA - the International Drama/Theatre and Education Association - on the 27th March 1997.
