The future of ASSITEJ is being shaped right now by your passion, your imagination, and your commitment to young audiences everywhere. Let’s keep the spirit alive and keep building it together.
Looking back on ‘Bright Generations’ — our unforgettable Artistic Gathering this March in Marseille — we are filled with gratitude and inspiration. Thank you for bringing your creativity, your courage, and your dreams to every meeting, every conversation, every performance. Marseille reminded us of something essential: face-to-face encounters are not just important — they are transformational. It is in those shared spaces that ideas spark, partnerships are born, and the future of our field begins to take shape.
Now, as we step into the selection process for the new Regional Cooperation Program, we carry that same spirit of connection and possibility forward. The Regional Cooperation Program is a new ASSITEJ initiative designed to encourage collaboration between National Centres of ASSITEJ. It’s about building stronger regional theatre communities and making theatre more accessible and diverse. Cooperation this year and extending over three years.
Launching this program marks a profound shift in the ASSITEJ calendar — creating space for deeper regional exchange, more sustained collaboration, and new opportunities for artists and organisations across the world to meet, create, and dream together.
We are excited about what’s ahead — and we know the seeds planted at ‘Bright Generations’ will continue to grow, inspiring new projects, new friendships, and new ways of working together across borders and cultures.
The future of ASSITEJ is being shaped right now by your passion, your imagination, and your commitment to young audiences everywhere. Let’s keep the spirit alive and keep building it together.
With heartfelt thanks and excitement for the road ahead,
Bebê de Soares
