Professional networks bring together theatre companies,
organisations or persons across cultural, linguistic, national and
other divides, because of a shared interest or need related to the
field of theatre for children and young people. In professional
networks, membership is often specific to a particular area of
specialisation in the field.
Professional networks may include, for example, networks of
actors, directors, scenographers, playwrights, researchers or arts
critics in theatre for children and young people. Networks may also
grow up around a theme or idea, for example, dance theatre for
young audience, theatre for the early years, inclusive theatre
across all abilities, theatre in schools. ASSITEJ actively
encourages the formation of artistic networks to support activities
in the field of theatre for children and young people.

write local. play global
is a place populated by…YOU
It's an online meeting place for people interested in work
written for young audiences. Think of it as a virtual café where
you can read about, make contact and catch up with people from
around the world. You can find out about exciting new work, how
writers approach their craft and about organizations that support
and develop the work of writers.
It's a community that wants to hear from you when:
- you see a great new play
- you have a new work premiering or touring
- you want to discuss an issue or ask a question about writing
for young audiences
- you or a colleague wins an award for writing (hey, everyone
needs applause)
- there's an event happening anywhere in the world supporting
writers for young audiences
- you want to share information from your country or region about
TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences) playwrights, and organizations
and events supporting and developing their work.
