This is the third ITYARN book, compiled from two conference events, one held in 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa on "e;Cultural Exchange and Diversity in TYA, "e; coinciding with the XIXth ASSITEJ World Congress and Festival Cradle of Creativity, and one held in Kristiansand Norway on "e;(Re)presenting Childhood, "e; coinciding with the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering Confronting the Present. Twelve presentations were selected from these events and together they offer a rich mosaic of research areas in Theatre for Young Audiences.
