Cyprus Theatre Organization presents educational initiatives at the 36th Romanian National Theatre Festival

The Cyprus Theatre Organization (THOC) participated in the 36th Romanian National Theatre Festival (FNT), held in Bucharest from October 16 to 25, 2026. The organization was represented by theatre expert Kiki Argyrou, who served as a speaker during the international meeting titled 'Subject Theatre. Transformative Education' on October 24 at the I.L. Caragiale National Theatre.

During her presentation, Argyrou highlighted the Pan-Cyprian School Theatre Games, presenting the competition as a model for actively engaging students in theatrical creation and fostering cooperation and creative expression. The international session, which included delegates from Norway, Poland, Germany, and Romania, focused on the transformative role of theatre within educational systems and explored potential collaborations between theatre institutions and pedagogical bodies.

In addition to the academic contributions, the festival program featured various performances, workshops, and exhibitions. Participation in this event provided THOC with the opportunity to observe contemporary Romanian theatrical productions, including a staging of William Shakespeare’s King Lear, and to engage in discussions regarding the future of theatre in education.
