About the association

Celobert Cultural and Social Association was created with the mission of bringing art and culture to children and young people facing vulnerability. Founded by a team of dedicated artists, educators, and volunteers, Celobert provides safe, creative spaces where young people can express themselves, discover their talents, and develop self-esteem through art.

The association has always placed theatre at the heart of its work, recognizing it as a powerful tool for education and emotional growth. Performing arts are more than artistic expression—they nurture critical life skills such as empathy, teamwork, active listening, and critical thinking. At Celobert, the performing arts are promoted as an essential part of children’s and young people’s holistic development.

Through workshops, interactive shows, and school projects, Celobert guides young people in building a positive identity, managing emotions, and gaining confidence.

The association focuses on neighborhoods and communities where cultural access is limited or nonexistent, bringing artistic and educational experiences directly to those who need them most. With a multidisciplinary team and a strong network of collaborators, Celobert has established itself as a leader in arts education and social inclusion.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Producing original theatre productions
  • Event management
  • Educational theatre experiences and classes
  • Organizing workshops and summer camps

All activities are available in multiple languages:
English, Portuguese, Spanish, Valencian, Italian, and Chinese.
