ASSITEJ - Association Internationale du Theater pour I'Enfance et la Jeunesse is an international organization that works to promote the right of children and young people to experience good performing arts.
We have made a small leaflet that tells a little about what Assitej is and what we do! You can read it here.
ASSITEJ was established in 1965 by an international alliance of professional stage artists. ASSITEJ has national centers in approx. 80 countries, and consists of both theatres, performing arts companies and individual artists. ASSITEJ is the world's largest performing arts network for children and young people - internationally referred to as TYA - Theater for Young Audiences. ASSITEJ's work is rooted in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states, among other things, that children have the right to good art - and cultural experiences.
