The ASSITEJ Nordic-Baltic Network has a long history of regional collaboration. The first Nordic ASSITEJ meeting took place in Stockholm in 1981 and since then Nordic meetings, festivals and workshops have been staged on a continuous basis. With collective efforts ASSITEJ World Congresses have been organized in Stockholm (1990), Tromsø (1999) and Malmö/Copenhagen (2011).
In the beginning of the 2000´s the three Baltic countries joined the network extending the cooperation to eight countries. Since 2019, we have hosted a Nordic-Baltic Network House at ASSITEJ Artistic Gatherings.
Our vision is to strengthen TYA in the Nordic-Baltic region, share best practices to inspire others, enable more sustainable TYA production/programming structures, and make ASSITEJ even more visible and relevant as an organisation, both within our region and elsewhere.
