ASSITEJ Srbija will host the 2023 ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering.
JUMP IN!
20 to 24 November 2023, Belgrade
Sadly, due to complex local and global circumstances both financial and geopolitical, the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering in Serbia planned for May 2023 must be rescheduled.
The new dates of this important ASSITEJ event are 20 – 24 November 2023, starting on World Children’s Day.
ASSITEJ Serbia and ASSITEJ International are aware of the implications this change has for our members but after a careful analysis of our options, we see a postponement as the only possible way to realise the gathering.
The proximity of the event to the ASSITEJ World Congress in May 2024 in Cuba will be used as an opportunity to support our colleagues in a positive and complementary manner, both for the delegates and the hosts of the two events. A more detailed announcement of the program and open calls for participation will be shared later this year.

ASSITEJ Cuba will host the 21st annual ASSITEJ World Congress and Performing Arts Festival.
