38th ITI General Assembly
"Reimagining the ITI General Assembly"
More Than a Meeting
A New Way to Participate
15-18 December 2026 | Online
Every General Assembly marks an important moment in the life of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), bringing together its worldwide community to strengthen governance, exchange ideas and shape the organisation's future.
The 38th ITI General Assembly marks an important new chapter in this journey. While fully preserving its statutory role, it introduces a renewed participation model designed to strengthen dialogue, knowledge exchange and international collaboration across the global ITI community.
Recently endorsed by the Executive Council, this new framework extends the General Assembly beyond its statutory session. From 15 to 17 December, the Pre-General Assembly Exchange Programme will provide opportunities for ITI Centres, Committees, Networks and partners to share experiences, explore common interests and develop future collaboration. These exchanges will lead into the 38th Statutory General Assembly on 18 December, where ITI will fulfil its governance responsibilities.
Like theatre itself, this programme will be shaped through encounter. Rather than presenting a series of individual reports, it aims to create meaningful conversations, encourage mutual learning and inspire new international partnerships.
The Call for Contributions is now open, inviting ITI Centres, Committees and Networks to help shape the Exchange Programme and bring their work, artists, projects and ideas into the international ITI community.
The 38th ITI General Assembly is more than an event. It is an opportunity for the worldwide ITI community to strengthen relationships, exchange knowledge and imagine the future together.
We look forward to shaping this new chapter of ITI together.
