The Pro-Vocation series are international conferences on puppetry training, organized by UNIMA’s Professional Training Commission since 2015.
In November 2024, the UNIMA Professional Training Commission, the Africa Commission, and the UNIMA SA, in partnership with UWC CHR’s Iyatsiba Lab, will present Pro-Vocation: Roots and Wings, the 4th iteration of Pro-Vocation.
This event, positioned on the African continent for the first time, is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the living traditions and contemporary innovations of African puppetry pedagogies. It emphasizes the innovative and critical aspects of puppetry training across Africa, focusing on continental priorities through African exchange and global perspectives.

- International Conference: Held in Cape Town at UWC CHR’s Iyatsiba Lab from 19–23 November.
