Thematic working group #YOUTH
🌐Online workshop 23. 10. 2024, 15–17 CET
We invite you to a workshop within the Culture Next Thematic Working Group on YOUTH.
We will explore the topic of youth engagement in culture from an international perspective. During the workshop, we will create a set of reflections for Culture next and its members.
Who can participate? Culture Next member cities – and your youth!
The workshop has been designed as an intergenerational space for dialogue and exchange of ideas. Please invite a young person aged 18-30 years old from your organisation or region to participate in the workshop with you.
Programme
Through panel conversations, breakout groups, and collaborative exercises in which to share challenges and good practices, the workshop will focus on two key questions: What can Culture Next and its members do….
- to support young people's engagement and participation in culture internationally?
- to support the emergence of an international collaborative space for youth-led cultural organisations and artistic projects?
The workshop will be co-facilitated by
