Happy World Puppetry Day!
In 2003, on the initiative of UNIMA Internationale, the celebration of the World Day of Puppet Theater was launched with the main idea of being both a real tool for popularizing the art of puppetry and a project that allows the unification of creators in the field from the same territory.
This holiday seeks to promote the art of puppetry, with some of the main goals it advocates being:
the maintenance and protection of traditions and, in parallel, the renewal of the art of puppetry;
the use of puppetry as a means of ethical and aesthetic education.
World Puppet Theater Day is now celebrated all over the world through the national centers of UNIMA and their members.
