ASSITEJ South Africa

ASSITEJ South Africa is a national network organisation of artists, educators, organisations and institutions from all provinces.

Our Vision
South African children and young people will have access to quality, performing arts especially designed for them, contributing to a more empathic, engaged, and creative society.

We build the sector of theatre for young audiences in South Africa through supporting and developing the artists, empowering education through the performing arts, creating strategies for access to the arts, and advocating for the role of the arts as an essential right of every child and young person.
