The Association of Theatre for Children and Young People (ASSITEJ) in France, Italy, and Spain are collaborating on a project that focuses on migration and the Performing Arts for Children and Young People. These are countries that have recently been very aware of the growing challenges of the refugee crisis around the Mediterranean, a theme that is very engaging within the artistic environment. They have been exploring how the Performing Arts can play a role in the integration of migrant children that remain traumatised after they have arrived. This symposium aims to present and discuss various artistic practices and experiences which, in essence, ask the question, “How should we meet each other as fellow human beings?”
