Education Studies News and Events

This week saw the 50th anniversary of Theatre in Education (TiE) at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. Academics and students from the Centre for Education Studies were all involved in the conference, Professor Joe Winston, Dr Rachel King, Jo Trwosdale and Jen Kitchen, a PhD student all ran sessions which CES MA Drama students all took part in.

The conference explored the relationship between theatre, education and learning, from the early inception of TiE at the Belgrade in 1965, through to current practise, and then to hopes, models and opportunities for the future.
