Katim Dance Team

Yesterday, June 21, we were delighted to welcome our Japanese partners to our center. Over the years, they have been valuable partners and supporters of our work, and it was a pleasure to have them join us once again.

During their visit, they had the opportunity to observe our Ablis Project and witness firsthand how we work with and support our participants. Beyond observing, they also actively engaged in our programs by taking part in an art therapy session, experiencing the power of creativity as a tool for expression, connection, and personal growth.

It was a meaningful day filled with learning, exchange, and inspiration. We are grateful for their visit and their continued interest in the work we do.

Together, we continue to create spaces where inclusion, creativity, and human connection can flourish.

“ETV reported on the WE CAN-6 dance festival that we proudly organized, which included participants from different countries around the world.”

On November 22, 2025 The Addis Ababa City Administration Culture, Arts and Tourism Bureau, in collaboration with the Addis Ababa City Administration Women, Children and Social Affairs Bureau, is known for organizing the annual Children and Parents Festival. This year as well, the festival was held at the Children and Youth Theatre.
During this festival, Katim was invited to present its inclusive stage performance based on our prior agreement. We delivered an 8-minute piece featuring the cultural dances of four nations and nationalities (Tigrinya, Afaan Oromo, Wolayta, and Amharic). The performance involved seven dancers—both dancers with disabilities and dancers without disabilities—showcasing a beautiful inclusive work.
After the performance, the organizers expressed their appreciation, mentioning that the audience enjoyed the show and gained valuable awareness from it.
