Professional networks bring together theatre companies, organisations or persons across cultural, linguistic, national and other divides, because of a shared interest or need related to the field of theatre for children and young people. In professional networks, membership is often specific to a particular area of specialisation in the field.
Professional networks may include, for example, networks of actors, directors, scenographers, playwrights, researchers or arts critics in theatre for children and young people. Networks may also grow up around a theme or idea, for example, dance theatre for young audience, theatre for the early years, inclusive theatre across all abilities, theatre in schools. ASSITEJ actively encourages the formation of artistic networks to support activities in the field of theatre for children and young people.

Un nuevo Festival Internacional para Niños y Jóvenes nace en la región, y este hecho que pudiera leerse como un hecho aislado, como una letra más de un abecedario incompleto, es en sí mismo el resultado del trabajo de intercambio y del encuentro entre los hacedores del Teatro para Niños y Jóvenes (TNJ) propiciado por ASSITEJ en su labor de promover el mismo.
El Teatro Independiente es un movimiento particular en la Argentina, cuyo epicentro se encuentra en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Este movimiento nació en los años 40 y tiene la particularidad de que su principal trabajo es realizado sin el apoyo económico del estado, y ofrece una obra artística autónoma, planteando una propuesta teatral alejada del circuito del teatro comercial, y poblando las salas teatrales con una cantidad poco frecuente de poéticas diferentes .
El Teatro para Niños y Jóvenes (TNJ) surge del movimiento de teatro independiente como una especialización. Comienza como un creador, y después se convierte en un renovador del imaginario creativo del TNJ, gracias al trabajo de directores como Hugo Midón, Carlos de Urquiza, Héctor Presa, Manuel González Gil, Andrés Bazalo y muchos otros, que desde el de los 80 han estado proponiendo una manera diferente de entender el TNJ.
ATINA (Asociación de teatristas Independientes para Niños y Adolescentes) fue creado como una iniciativa de algunas personas dentro de este grupo, y luego la asociación se convirtió en miembro de ASSITEJ Internacional. Desde su fundación, el trabajo de ATINA ha sido la creación de redes. En primer lugar, entre los fundadores de TNJ y, a continuación, entre los nuevos emergentes. Posteriormente, en el ámbito regional, y por último en el ámbito internacional. Buscando el intercambio con otras regiones, con otras estéticas, con otros sistemas de producción, dando y recibiendo el arte, para hacer crecer nuestro TNJ.
En este marco es que nace el I Festival Internacional dentro del XXI Encuentro de Teatro, Títeres y Cuentos, organizado por la UPeBe (Universidad Popular de Belgrano), auspiciado por ATINA. Este I Festival Internacional, se llevará a cabo en Buenos Aires, Argentina, a partir de julio del 18 a julio del 22, con la presencia de elencos de Italia, Chile, Uruguay y México.
Este nuevo festival tiene la impronta de la región y naciendo de lo más profundo del Teatro Independiente Argentino, y tiene la fuerza y el encanto de una semilla que brota.
