This is why advocacy matters. ASSITEJ International rests on a rights-based argument. Under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, every child has the right to take part freely in cultural life and the arts. That right does not shrink when an economy does. Funding for young audiences should not be a gesture. It should keep children at the centre.

Shoaib Iqbal, Member of the Executive Committee of ASSITEJ International

Sitting together around a table in meeting rooms, restaurants and coffee shops in Santiago, I was reminded once again of something that I am constantly experiencing in ASSITEJ: a sense and feeling of belonging. We may come from very different places, work in very different contexts and speak different languages, but there is something that connects us: a shared belief in the importance of theatre and the performing arts for children and young people, a curiosity about what others are doing, and a willingness to reach out to each other, strengthen each other and learn together.

Julia Dina Heße, Member of the Executive Committee of ASSITEJ International
