BITEF POLYPHONY - history Bitef Polyphony was initiated in year 2000 as a program of seminars and training workshops for artists, regarding their role in work with young people. The topic of Bitef Festival 2000 was "Theatre and Evil". Bitef Polyphony dealt with the issue of violence through the presentation of the project "Art for Social Change - Play Against Violence", initiated by European Cultural Foundation and implemented in partnership with Soros Foundation Network in seven South-East European countries, through 27 pilot projects for young people, facilitated by theatre artists. The following, 2001, Bitef Festival dealt with "Eros&Etos", and 2nd Bitef Polyphony offered "New Harmonies", which dealt with author approaches, methods of work and evaluation processes, carried out through training workshops project, and titled I createOtherefore.l exist. The topic of 36th Bitef Festival - "New (World) theatric order" inspired 3rd Bitef Polyphony to deal with "global issues" of innovative practices of theatre authors in various areas of artistic, educational and social engagement. Bitef Polyphony presented various training methods and strategies through drama process and interactive theatre. Bearers and facilitators of Bitef Polyphony in past three years were CEDEUM (Center for Drama in Education and Arts), CENPI (Center for New Theatre and Dance) and ANET (Association of Independent Theatres). The Fight for Drama - The Fight for Education "...Kids, young children when they are small, ask the profoundest questions Every child asks the questions of the great philosophers. They ask the questions of Plato, Spinoza - any philosopher you like, a child asks those questions - very, very basic questions. Why? What? Wherefore? Where from? Questions as profound as that. So even a young child is asking these enormous questions which actually adults really can't answer. But if you're going to meet people's needs, you've got to have some answer, you've got to have some explanations of what the world is about..."
