The World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People is observed worldwide every March 20. Established by the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People (ASSITEJ) in 2001, the day aims to promote access to theatre and the arts for children, emphasizing the message “Take a child to the theatre, today, so they can see, hear, feel, think and imagine.” Theatre for young audiences, which includes various forms such as plays, dance, puppetry, and circus, combines entertainment and education while addressing important themes in age-appropriate ways. ASSITEJ, founded in Paris in 1965, facilitates connections among theatre companies and professionals dedicated to children's theatre. On this day, ASSITEJ centers, theatres, and schools organize events like performances, workshops, and seminars to celebrate the significance of theatre for children. Individuals are encouraged to take children to local theatres or participate in ASSITEJ events to foster a love for the performing arts.
