Launched in 2003 by UNIMA, the World Puppetry Day is both a real tool for the promotion of puppetry arts and a project allowing to unite the puppet actors of the same territory.

​

This world day seeks to promote the puppet arts by defending, among other objectives:

 

- the maintenance and the safeguard of the traditions and, in parallel, the renewal of the art of puppetry

- the use of puppetry as a means of ethical and aesthetic education

 

The World Puppet Day is now celebrated all over the world through its National Centers and their members.

This Day is the occasion to collectively and as widely as possible carry the diversity of puppetry arts today!

UNIMA presents International Message, Poster and Video Project.  And, this World Puppetry Day is celebrated in multiple forms. Each one appropriates it in its own way and proposes actions of different kinds.

​

UNIMA JAPAN created Japanese version of Logo for World Puppetry Day 3.21.  Every year, it could be printed on flyers for puppet shows in January, February and March.  Contact UNIMA JAPAN Secretariat for details.
