Chuncheon 34th Puppet Festival, South Korea 2022
Gathering of world’s city mayors for global sustainable development through the Art of Puppetry.
The 2022 General Assembly of AVIAMA (International Association of Puppet-Friendly Cities) took place with
representatives from UNIMA, alongside AVIAMA delegates from Bialystok (Poland), Saguenay (Canada), Tournai
(Belgium), Lida (Japan), and several other member countries, including the Czech Republic, Taiwan, and Spain.
UNIMA Korea also invited colleagues from around the globe to join discussions on various UN Sustainable
Development Goals, such as Gender Equality, Sustainability, and Education. This event was held in conjunction
with Chuncheon 34th Puppet Festival, where both UNIMA and AVIAMA participated in the opening ceremony
featuring a puppet procession through the city streets.
A diverse array of topics was addressed in the UNIMA symposium at the festival, covering themes like
representation, the right to education, and sustainability.
I was honored to share my work in puppetry and my experiences with the Irish UNIMA National Centre.
