**Note: Participation in this programme is by invitation only and is available only to those teenagers who have been pre-registered. Although the venue is listed as "Students Cultural Centre Novi Sad Fabrika A", in reality, the participants will move between numerous venues.**

In 2022, ASSITEJ International launched two new projects, ‘Voices of Children’ and ‘Voices of Teenagers’, to bring children’s and young people’s voices into artistic conversations and other sectoral discussions.

In recognition of the importance of including children and young people’s own voices in the learning and development of ASSITEJ International and its members, these programmes will seek the voices of children and teenagers to be integrated into professional learning around what our young audiences demand in terms of sustainability, participation, and creative feedback.

These two parallel projects have been designed to:

• Set an example and inspire the sector to include children and young people as valued contributors and vital agents in the sector’s cultural ecology;
• Let the voices of young generations be part of forming the conversations in professional discussions around the project activities, and;
• Enhance the capacity and skills of artists, producers, festivals, venues, and others to include children and young people in their work.

Voices of Teenagers: Sustainability & Participation

The participants of the programme will be young people, aged between 16 and 19 who already have experience in performing arts through participation in drama schools and who are interested in deepening their knowledge and experience in performing arts. 

The participants of the programme will watch selected performances, they will participate in several workshops, and seminars on the topic of ecology, and sustainability, as well as at the 'The Rights Of Children & Young People To Culture: 10 Years Later' conference. In addition to young people from Serbia, six young people from Europe (Italy, Germany, Denmark) will participate in the programme.
