IDEA Founding
After the second world war, UNESCO - the United Nations Education,the people of Science and Cultural Organisation, recognised the unique role that arts education can play in the creation of a culture of peace, international understanding, social cohesion and sustainable development. It was not until 1992 that the International Drama and Theatre Education Association was founded. IDEA's aim is to promote and advocate drama and theatre as part of a full human education and to provide an international forum for those working as drama and theatre educators throughout the world. IDEA encompasses the integral place of drama and theatre education in pre-schools, primary, secondary and tertiary education.

2007 IDEA Congress
The 6th World IDEA Congress was held in 2007 in Hong Kong, SAR, China. Its theme was 'Planting Ideas'. Over 400 delegates attended from all over the world. Internationally respected drama and theatre arts practitioners were invited by the organising committee to delivered keynote addresses and conduct seminars, special interest groups and workshops. A host of different performances also took place during the congress highlighting Chinese Opera, Drama in Schools, Dance in Schools and Drama for the Disabled. Part of the congress was also committed to the world of young people. This was called Young IDEA.[9]
At the 6th World IDEA Congress, a world alliance of the three key arts education associations was founded. This brought together IDEA with INSEA (International Society for Education Through Art) and ISME (International Society for Music Education). The aim of the world alliance is to "allow citizens to be enriched through the arts to allow confident, flexible intelligences, creative verbal and non-verbal communication skills, abilities to think critically and imaginatively, intercultural understandings and an empathetic commitment to cultural diversity in our knowledge based post-industrial societies." [10]
To facilitate communication between IDEA members, Dramatool,[11] an IDEA special website, was launched to aid international collaboration between different drama-practitioners.

She has published several books on Drama for Learning[13] and is also the Chair of National Drama, the leading association for UK drama teachers and theatre educators.
