Young Creators Meet-up
Hybrid meet-up, 14. 11. 2024, 10:00–12:30 CET
Do you believe young people should be active participants and leaders in the cultural sectors? Do you want to explore how such opportunities can be co-created with young people? How can we engage together through culture?
Let's explore youth engagement in culture from an international perspective and hear directly from young people how it has changed their lives!
Who can participate?
Everyone interested in the topic is welcome! Young artists and cultural workers, cultural promoters, and institutions currently working with youth (or wanting to), communities, politicians, policymakers, teachers, and students. You can invite anyone from your cities or countries to join us.
