From 21 to 30 August 2026, the Belgian city of Antwerp will invite children, young people and teaching artists from all over the world to a 10-day crossover between a theater festival and a scientific conference.
From August 21 to 30, the AITA/IATA World Children's and Youth Performing Arts Festival will offer a unique international stage for young performing arts talent. They give children and young people a voice and a safe place where they can build self-confidence and showcase their creativity.
During the last 3 days, from 28 to 30 August, they will organize the 8th edition of the International Teaching Artist Conference (ITAC8).

They welcome a local and international audience of professionals who want to inspire each other in creating imaginative, inclusive, and resilient communities.
