ITO (International Theatre of the Oppressed Organization) is an organization that coordinates and enhances the development of Theatre of the Oppressed all over the world, according to the principles and objectives of the Declaration of Principles published on www.theatreoftheoppressed.org.

ITO does so by connecting Theatre of the Oppressed practitioners into a global network, fostering exchange and methodical development; by facilitating training and multiplication of the existing techniques; by conceiving projects on a global scale; by the stimulation of the creation of local Centres for Theatre of the Oppressed (CTO’s); by promoting and creating conditions for the work of CTO’s and practitioners and by creating an international meeting point on the internet.
