The 15 strategic points detailed in this document address the most pressing obstacles facing the dance sector for children and young people. Each of them incorporates strategies that, through assessment, planning and implementation by technical professionals in each of the areas described, would bring about important changes for the world of dance for children and young people.

The celebration of the 1st Dance Congress arises from the need expressed by ASSITEJ Spain among different artists, companies and collectives to structure an international network that allows for exchange and research on dance for children and youth.

When we at ASSITEJ Spain had to redefine the lines of action for the years 2018-2020, it was necessary to focus on dance. We could not have started in a better way. At ASSITEJ we are fully convinced of the need to work together, both nationally and internationally, and we are sure that participating in the creation of the Young Dance Network will allow for greater development and knowledge of the situation of dance for children and youth both inside and outside our country.
