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.

The basic programme

For young people aged between 14 and 19. In exciting workshops and a varied supporting programme, you will learn everything you need to turn your ideas into reality. Together with a project group and mentors, you will develop and organise a small youth culture project or event.

Start of the next round: 31 August 2024

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.
