Capital of Culture by young people for young people - that's CREATE.U! CREATE.U is the youth programme for Chemnitz 2025 initiated by Team Generation. It enables young people between the ages of 14 and 27 to implement their own project ideas in Chemnitz and the cultural region. You can take part, contribute your ideas and help shape cultural projects!

Young culture made in Chemnitz
Your own festival, a photo project or a fashion workshop: Would you like to live out your creative side and plan and implement your own cultural project? Then you've come to the right place. Teenagers and young adults between the ages of 14 and 27 who have already gained some experience in event organization and now want even more can take part.
We meet regularly to discuss new ideas and network. We travel to get to know young people and their ideas from other cities and countries. Our big goal is to organize an international youth event lasting several days in 2025. On the way there, we will try our hand at smaller projects such as the KOSMOS Festival or re:generation - the conference of generations.
Create.U meets every Thursday from 5 to 7 pm in the Chemnitz 2025 Open Space in the Schmidtbank-Passage (Hartmannstraße 5, 09111 Chemnitz). For better planning, please register in advance by email or via Instagram.
What has happened so far
In various workshops, young people learned what it takes to organize a successful event. Various topics such as public relations and financing were covered. The youth groups then set out to implement their own cultural projects using the knowledge gained from the workshops. Team Generation provided them with experienced mentors who supported them with questions and problems.
A similar workshop program is planned again in autumn 2024.
