Actively Engaged - Young People's Dreams of Possibility

Pop culture thrives on discourse, but above all on the people who shape it. They are committed to fostering dialogue and social cohesion.

Spanning DIY festivals, activism, and political stances, we’ll discuss how sustainable engagement can succeed across generations. What creative freedom, funding structures, and political conditions are needed for young ideas to flourish and visions to become reality?
In a joint panel discussion organized by the Bertelsmann Stiftung and BPM Saxony, various key figures and experts will discuss the (pop) cultural landscape of tomorrow—and how they are already actively shaping it today.
