On March 20 we celebrate the ASSITEJ World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People, a global moment to highlight something essential: children and young people have the right to access arts and culture. 🎭

Across the world, artists, educators, companies and organisations come together to stage the rights of children, creating theatre and performances that nurture imagination, participation and expression.

Through these shared experiences, theatre becomes a space where young audiences can discover ideas, feel emotions and see their voices valued.

Today and every day, we stand for the cultural rights of children and young people.

Small size Days 2026 reached 13,814 spectators across 19 different countries. 👀🎈

Adults and children came together to experience a rich and diverse programme of performances, storytelling sessions, workshops and artistic encounters dedicated to early years audiences. 🌎✨

These numbers represent much more than attendance, they reflect shared spaces, first artistic experiences, international collaboration and the power of art to connect communities across borders.

We warmly thank all the artists, partners and organisers who made this edition possible, and every family who chose to be part of this collective celebration. 🩵

At 19:00, online, Catarsis - Arte para Infância e Juventude presents A criança apreciadora de arte / The child as an art appreciator, a video series for professionals . "The child as an art appreciator" marks the launch of a new videocast series featuring special guests in dialogue about the child as an art appreciator. In this first episode, we are honored to speak with ethnomusicologist Lydia Hortélio. At 93, she is one of Brazil’s foremost references in the study of childhood culture. Her singular career is devoted to researching traditional songs, toys, and play, building a vast material and immaterial archive grounded in attentive listening to children and popular cultures.
