The 14th Annual International Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed Conference (http://www.ptoweb.org/registration.html ) is scheduled for May 22-May 25, 2008, in Omaha, Nebraska--the original site of PTO. Inspired by the critical education work of Paulo Freire and theatre activism of
Augusto Boal, PTO brings together those interested and engaged in critical pedagogies, theatre, and
arts aimed towards progressive and revolutionary social change. The theme for this year's
conference is "What is Change? What is Substantial Change? And How?"

Augusto Boal, internationally renowned theatre artist and activist, is returning to provide
Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) workshops prior to and after our conference. For the first time in
many years, Boal will attend the entire PTO Conference. Workshop and conference registration
information will be posted on the PTO website in early March.
