The Education & Theatre journal is a scientific publication for the promotion of theatre, educational drama, theatre games and other performing arts in education, published by the Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network. All scientific articles are anonymously reviewed by at least two members of the Academic-Advisory Committee and/or Special Scientific Collaborators. The articles that are eventually published express the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the Editing Committee. The authors retain copyright, but all publishing rights belong to the publisher (Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network). The journal is published once a year at the invitation of the Editing Committee and may at times include special features on various themes edited by different editors each time, with the agreement of the Editing and Academic-Advisory Committees. The journal publishes mainly (a) original scientific articles and studies following anonymous peer review. It may also include a limited number of (b) presentations of innovative projects and (c) summaries of doctoral dissertations. At the invitation of the Editing Committee, a limited number of d) viewpoints, e) conference reports, f) interviews may be published. Manuscripts of cases (b) to (f) are not subject to a “blind review” process, but are reviewed and approved by the journal’s Editing Committee.
Republication, in part or in whole, of articles published in the journal is allowed with prior permission from the Editing Committee and a reference to first publication in the journal.

2025-12-30
The 26th issue (2025) of the journal Education & Theatre is now published in two languages: English and Greek.
This year's issue includes articles on domestic research and practice, as well as an insert tribute to the theater/drama-pedagogical landscape of Palestine, entitled
"Palestine: performing arts as resistance, resilience and sumud".
In honor of the contributors to this year's tribute, the Editorial Committee of the journal took two actions:
a) the initial publication of the issue took place on November 29, International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and
b) its full contents are also published in Arabic (coming soon).
Enjoy reading!
