New logo ASSITEJ Italia

The new ASSITEJ Italia logo is an idea of  Francesca Mayer,  an italian designer.  In particular, the study of the new logo was inspired by the masks and associated studies of Bruno Munari – graphic designer and writer for children – world wide known. He is famous for his multifaceted research on the theme of movement, light and the development of creativity and imagination in childhood, through play.



PALCHIAPERTI…are you ready to subscribe to the Manifesto?

PalchiAperti is an in-progress project by ASSITEJ Italia.

One of its first results was the Manifesto presented at Kristiansand artistic gathering this September in the symposium of “Migration and TYA”, realised in collaboration with Scènes d’enfance – ASSITEJ France and ASSITEJ Spain.

If you agree on the idea of theatre for the new generation as a gentle and necessary antidote to the increasing expressions of hate, discover the project, read the Manifesto and sign it, completing the form here: https://www.assitej-italia.it/en/palchi-aperti/

It will take just a couple of minutes to become a member of a community who is working for a better future and to spread this declaration of inclusive theatre all around the world.
