Partnerships that help artists and educators meet their own local challenges have been formed with groups and organizations in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Japan, Jamaica and the Middle East. Recent projects include:

United Arab Emirates University

CAT's ELTA program led two weeks of workshops at the UAEU in Al Ain, introducing undergraduate students to the use of student-centered, interactive drama in the early childhood classroom. Additional outreach included professional development for both University professors and TESOL teachers, in-class work with students in local elementary schools, as well as meetings with University and Ministry of Education representatives.  (Click here to see what we did!)

Contacting The World
Organized by The Contact Theatre in England, this revolutionary international exchange project was a 10 month commitment among 150 young people from 12 youth theatre companies from the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Brazil, Nepal, India, Palestine, Zambia and CAT, the first company ever selected to participate from the USA. For the project culmination, a cohort of CAT members traveled to the UK to meet the other companies and participate in a festival of workshops and performances.
