Are you 16—19 years old, and are you interested in the performing arts? This is for you!
ASSITEJ Iceland and the Nordic-Baltic ASSITEJ Network (NBAN) are happy to invite two young people from each Nordic-Baltic country to be part of the UNGI Performing Arts Festival for Children in Reykjavik, Iceland, April 23-25, 2026.
The youth delegates’ role is essential to explore new ways of reaching out to our audience, and the program will focus on youth involvement and participatory methods. Confrontation between the artists and young people (and vice versa) will inspire new practice and policies for producing and presenting theatre for children.
The youth participants should be between the ages of 16 and 19, preferably drama students in high schools, or youths with experience in the performing arts. The ASSITEJ centers in each country will promote this exclusive opportunity, and ASSITEJ Iceland will select the candidates.
Deadline for application: February 15.
As a youth participant, you will:
- Experience performing arts for children from Iceland, the Nordic and Baltic region and Europe.
- Speak your mind, confronting the artists
- Take part in workshops and experience Reykjavik and Iceland
- Make new friends sharing the interest for the Performing Arts
- Have a lot of fun!
The days will be filled with a professional program, shows, social events, and excursions in the afternoon. A full program and practical info will be sent to the participants in March.
We will provide:
- Travel
- Accommodation and meals
- A team of experienced supervisors
Together with the festival organizers, our supervisors will do their best to facilitate a safe and interesting festival experience.
The participants need to have travel insurance and be under 18 years old later a signed permission from their guardian.
