Young Europe
De Toneelmakerij, Amsterdam
In 2008 the ETC developed the project “Young Europe 1: Young Creation and Education in the Theatre”. The aim of this project was to invite young people to deal with theatre and to experience its relevance. Eight theatres from six European countries started collaborating on coproductions. Theatre productions emerged from workshops with young people concerning with the topics of migration, violence, citizenship and identity. Those plays reflect on the realities of a young Europe and question it critically. In 2011 the programme “Young Europe 2: Multilingual Creation and Education” was continued, this time focusing on the aspect of multilingualism and diversity as markers of European identity. Once again, eight theatres from six European countries created collaboration projects and developed new plays for young audiences aged 12 and above. These plays were written in collaboration with young people, theatre educators and playwrights.
In May 2013, the Young Europe Festival presents all productions from “Young Europe 2 ”. The THEATER AN DER PARKAUE Berlin host the festival. All works dared to try new and wider possibilities with regard to young people’s participation. Questions and experiences arising from this process will be dealt with in discussions and workshops. Within the Young Europe Talent Campus programme, young Europeans are invited to form a European jury entitled to present their impressions about the plays at the end of the festival.
