Conference on the creativity and cultural habits of children and young people
On 29-30 July, 350 experts and participants from across the EU will meet in Goteborg for a conference on the creativity and cultural habits of children and young people. The conference is taking place within the context of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation.
The aim is to promote the exchange of experience and knowledge on how public investments can help to ensure that children and young people’s right to culture in all forms is guaranteed.
In four seminars, the participants will discuss different aspects of daily life for children and young people. They will be given the opportunity to meet the real experts in the area, the young people themselves, who will guide the participants as they try out the younger generation’s world of digital communication.
Other issues that will be discussed in the seminars are how we can strengthen children and young people’s right to culture, how the traditional cultural institutions can find ways to remain attractive and accessible for the new generation, and children and young people’s media habits across Europe.
