ASSITEJ International' 21. World Congress & Performing Arts Festival for Children and Young People - Voices of A New World held in Havana, Cuba

We encountered this big teathre event in Havana, Cuba. That were two very intense and overwhelming weeks with huge amount of new experiences, new people, different culture, theatre, experiencing simple lifestyles, broken buses, waitings and loads of dance…but nonetheless the most amazing was hospitality and generosity of people in Cuba, all around!

What happened?
ASSITEJ International’s 21. World Congress & Performing Arts Festival for Children & Young People - Voices Of A New World. All of this was arranged by @assitejcuba_oficial and @assitejofficial

Inside of the congress program Irma Unušić had the opportunity to be selected as a participant of Next Generation Network Residency. It was followed by 5 days in Santa Clara and the rest was in Havana. It is an exchange program for emerging young artists in TYA. 

NG presented Next Generation Manifesto at the General Assembly of ASSITEJ International in front of all delegates from many countries from all around the World which was held at the historic Hotel Nacional in the middle of Havana. 
We have seen how vivid and fruitful is theatre and culture in general in Cuba! Thank you @next.generation.assitej! It is the amazing group of NOW GENERATION. Love for all! 

Big excitement was around meeting many members from @theyoungdancenetwork and it was amazing to gather with colleagues from different slavic countries in the middle of Havana. We lit a spark of some amazing next collaborations! 

In addition, it was a feeling as if the whole world was compressed into one place! Indeed an enjoyment! 

Arriving back will still take some time but really happy to go on because next step is @schoeneaussicht! Check out the program, it is amazing! 

Official trip to ASSITEJ World Congress was supported by Foundation “Kultura Nova” and The City of Bjelovar.
