About ASSITEJ

ASSITEJ was established in 1965 by a global alliance of professional theatre for children and young people. Today, ASSITEJ links thousands of theatres, organizations and individuals through national centres in more than 70 countries.
ASSITEJ India was founded in 2004, by an alliance of seven groups/companies from different parts of India. It was officially recognized by the ASSITEJ International as the gatekeeper centre, thanks to the initiative by Mr. H Chhawntluanga (Mr. Chhawna, in short) from Aizawl, Mizoram. Following the affiliation, ASSITEJ India was invited to participate in some international forum—in Korea, Germany, Canada, Malaysia and Romania. Our current endeavor is to strengthen professional theatre for children and young.
