ABOUT THE CANADIAN NATIONAL DRAMA TEACHERS CONFERENCE

TAEA’s Canadian National Drama Teachers Conference is held each year to provide Canadian drama educators with the opportunity to meet and network with their peers during an event featuring a wide range of professional development opportunities, keynote speakers, and exhibits on the latest in theatrical technology and educational resources. Friday October 25th is a traditional in-person conference at your choice of 10 different locations across Canada and then Saturday is live Zoom Across Canada where we can all gather together, learn from each other and from industry professionals as we build our national identity and further explore what it means to be a Drama Teacher in Canada!
