Scènes d’enfance – ASSITEJ France, in partnership with Théâtre Massalia, invites you to Marseille, France for the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering 2025. This year’s event, entitled “Bright Generations – Générations Lumineuses”, promises to be a dazzling event for all professionals in the Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) sector.
The world of Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA), both in France and abroad, is undergoing profound changes. Recent socio-cultural developments have highlighted new and crucial issues concerning the place of children and young people in our society.
Today, actors in our sector are faced with complex challenges. They must not only enlighten their practices to meet young people’s expectations but must also make their artistic and cultural commitment shine through. Issues of inclusion, diversity, and participation are at the heart of our concerns, and together we are looking for bright and relevant solutions.
It’s against this backdrop that the 2025 “Bright Generations – Générations Lumineuses” Artistic Gathering will take place, putting the spotlight on the links and exchanges between professionals for and with young people. Together, we’ll be exploring avenues for a brighter, more inclusive future for our younger generations.

Scènes d’enfance – ASSITEJ France is calling for applications to take part in the Professional Exchange Programme at the event.
