Looking for strategies to capture student interest and community support to join an ISTA festival?

​Show the video below - created by students for students - in your drama classes or in a school assembly to pump up interest for ISTA.



This infographic below produced by the International Schools Theater Association shares practical things that teachers have done to build and maintain participation in ISTA festivals throughout the years.

Check-out the list and see which strategies may work wonders for your community.

Students from the International School of Beijing share about ISTA


“To me, ISTA is a second home. A once in a lifetime opportunity to connect, to learn, and to create with artists and friends from all over the world. ISTA is the world of art and imagination for the kids who feel the need to find themselves, and express who they are through drama.” - Karen, grade 8

ISTA is a magical place. It is a place where there is no judgement. You can be yourself, express yourself, and show your true colors. The most magical thing about ISTA is that a group of strangers only sharing one common interest meet, and they leave as a group, an ensemble, a part of the ISTA family.
-Young Soo, grade 8

How do you make the festival experience even more special for your students? Book a fun trip, tour or experience in the city that you will visit. Check-out this Disney Challenge!
MS ISTA students perform drama exercises all around Disney, Hong Kong.
Students love ISTA! It's one of the most transformative drama experiences that they have in a school year. 


Though our school had to withdraw from this year's festival hosted by Bali Island School due to the coronavirus outbreak, we look forward to joining a festival again next school year and hope to perhaps meet you and your students at some point of our ISTA journey.
