The right to play

Every child has the right to play, as outlined in the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of the Child adopted in 1989. Yet displaced children in Europe often face daily violations of this right, including their access to play and recreational activities.

Play, fun, and imagination are vital for children’s development and future well-being. Our mission is to advocate for these essential rights and to showcase the significance of theatre projects in supporting displaced children. By sharing our expertise, we aim to reinforce the importance of play and contribute to the healthy development of every child.

  1. Around the World

    More than a million refugee and displaced children are growing up in Europe. Often without a safe space to create and imagine. Changing Stories creates that space.

What will we do?

Around the World will be a mobile, non-verbal theatre performance for children aged 4 to 18 who are growing up in difficult circumstances. The show will be playful, visual, and musical – with no spoken language, so that every child can relate to it.

With each performance, we create a space where children are not refugees, but explorers. Not numbers, but talented individuals who deserve to be seen.

Four experienced creators will develop this new production, drawing on years of working creatively with children in crisis. During the process, we will actively involve children in shelters through workshops – allowing them to help change the story.

What your support makes possible

With your help, we can spark imagination and resilience in those who need it most. Your support makes it possible to:

– Develop a new theatre production tailored to both younger and older children.
– Build lightweight, mobile backdrops that can be used in emergency settings across Europe.
– Create interactive workshops where children become co-creators of the performance
– Train our artists so they can bring this show to life with strength and confidence.
