This text is a record of some significant memories of the ‘Bright Generations’ Artistic Gathering, organised by Théâtre Massalia and ASSITEJ France, in March 2025. I'll use a method which will allow myself, at times, to refer to some personal experiences - both from my connection with ASSITEJ and with milestones within the AAG; after all, it was also my 60th birthday.  As there were 819 delegates from different countries, I'll mention some people by their first names, so that they symbolise all of us who together made this gathering remarkable, strengthening the importance of the different threads that make up the ASSITEJ fabric. I will also do this to symbolise a phrase that was present in the speeches at the opening of the event: we are one big family.

Paulo Merisio, Member of the ASSITEJ International Executive Committee

Este texto é um registo de algumas memórias significativas do Encontro Artístico “Gerações Brilhantes”, organizado pelo Théâtre Massalia e pela ASSITEJ França, em março de 2025. Utilizarei um método que me permitirá, por vezes, referir-me a algumas experiências pessoais – tanto relativas à minha ligação com a ASSITEJ quanto a momentos marcantes do ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering (AAG); afinal, era também o meu 60º aniversário. Uma vez que estiveram presentes 819 delegados de diferentes países, mencionarei algumas pessoas pelo primeiro nome, para que simbolizem todos nós que, em conjunto, tornamos este encontro marcante, reforçando a importância dos diferentes fios que compõem o tecido da ASSITEJ (no final do texto, se pode ler seus nomes e a parte da Associação que representam neste texto). Faço-o também para simbolizar uma frase que esteve presente nos discursos de Émilie (Théâtre Massalia), Fanny, Anabelle, Christophe (Scènes d'enfance - ASSITEJ França) e Sue (ASSITEJ Internacional) na abertura do evento: somos uma grande família.

Paulo Merisio, Membro do Comitê Executivo da ASSITEJ Internacional

There are reasons to celebrate: ASSITEJ International is turning 60! Our global community of performing arts for, with and by children and youngsters will come together in Marseille to gather people from different generations and continents to look back to 60 years of international exchange and advocacy // and to envision our future in workshops, round tables and conferences. But that’s not all: Just before we arrive in France, we celebrate the World Day of Theatre for Young Audiences with thousands of activities around the globe focusing on children’s right to participate in arts and culture with the slogan: Take a child to the theatre today.

Julia Dina Heße, Member of the ASSITEJ International Executive Committee
