THEATRES
IN A UNION
OF DIVERSITY

While forming the network a focus was set to combine as much diverse artistic skills as possible to implement our self-defined 4 objectives (Diversity, Artistic Variety, Participation, Theatre Mediation). All partners are highly acclaimed cultural institutions in their countries and present excellent skills in specific areas of Theatre for Young Audience (TYA). In addition to the 11 theatres from Europe, further theatres worldwide will be added through the study programme Theatre Mediation.
