Association 

ASSITEJ in Iceland has been operating since 1990 and has aimed to protect theater for children and young people by, among other things, promoting communication between artists who work in this field in Iceland and encouraging them to international cooperation.  

​

The Icelandic branch of the association has organized international workshops, participated in Nordic cooperation, sent representatives to courses and workshops and has mediated the selection of Icelandic performances at foreign theater festivals. 

​

The core of the activities in Iceland since 2013 has been UNGI, an annual international performing arts festival for young audiences in Reykjavík. The festival is independent but held in parallel and in good cooperation with the Children's Culture Festival in Reykjavík. The festival has marked its place in the cultural life of the city. 

​

It has been decided to make the UNGA International Performing Arts Festival a biennial and to use the intervening year to build up the organization's internal work and support the professional scene in Iceland. That year is called the EGG
