UNIMA opens a mission of civic service to contribute to the actions of valorization of the puppetry arts and to participate in the development of the World Puppetry Day.

The International Union of the Puppetry Arts is an international non-governmental organization gathering puppeteers and friends of puppetry to work for the recognition and the development of puppetry arts. UNIMA has a consultative status with UNESCO. It gathers nearly 100 national centers and representatives, and almost 7000 members throughout the world. Since its creation in 1929, the association has defended the importance of the values and ideas of universalism, openness and cooperation. UNIMA’s actions are aimed at family audiences, young professional artists, more experienced artists, trainers, researchers, art lovers from all professions (collectors, spectators, mediators…).

.

• To take part in the drafting of documents and supports of mobilization for the World Puppetry Day, the device Passport, the calls to participation of the Youth commission…
• To propose supports which can value the arts of the puppet (stories, interviews, games…)
• To valorize actions carried out for the World Puppetry Day and other actions carried out by the UNIMA (photos, reports, videos…) near all the public
• To participate in the accompaniment of the actions carried out by the members and the partners of the association (actions of sensitizations, meetings, etc.)
