World Puppetry Day, comes every March 21. The idea came from the puppet theater Dzhivada Zolfagariho from Iran. In 2000 at the XVIII Congress of the Union Internationale de la Marionnette, (UNIMA) in Magdeburg, he made the proposal for discussion. Two years later, at a meeting of the International Council of UNIMA in June 2002 in Atlanta, the date of the celebration was identified. The first celebration was in 2003.
Union Internationale de la Marionnette International Puppetry Association was founded in Prague in 1929 the then Czechoslovak magazine Loutk was UNIMA s first official journal in years 1929 1930 . In 1981, Jacques Felix moved UNIMA s headquarters to Charleville M zi res , France . UNIMA is affiliated to UNESCO and it is a member of the International Theatre Institute.
Puppet theater artist, Javad Zolfaghari from Iran, came up with the idea for World Puppetry Day. He proposed a discussion for the day in the year 2000 during the UNIMA World Congress. In 2002 UNIMA declared March 21st as World Puppetry Day. The first official World Puppetry Day was held on March 21st, 2003.
