2nd Student Festival (Online)
Artistic Committee
The Artistic Committee of the Second Student Festival has been put together by the Board of the ITI/UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts. This Committee is responsible for defining the theme of the Festival, setting up the criteria for selecting the performance and finalizing the festival program. When the Festival is over, the Committee will conduct an evaluation report to improve the next edition. The members are doing these tasks in close collaboration with the Secretariat of the ITI/UNESCO Network. For the Second Student Festival, the work included the adaptation of the online Festival from an offline festival.

"The Network is important to connect theatre education Institutes and to confront different principles, methods and ways of teaching. The Network should also generate a new generation of young performing art artists, who will believe in the importance of ITI."

"Education never stops, it affects us all at every stage of our careers and lives. We always study, or we die.
Education in theatre is the continuation of a beginning and it is just a planting of a seed. But this first step is very important and absolutely necessary."

For achieving this, we need to persist in holding this Second Student Festival online!"
