Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture (NDPC) launches a new programme "Northern Dimension Youth and Museums for Sustainability" with the aim to encourage the museum and exhibition hall sector to open up for new collaborations with young adults.
A further aim is to co-create new educational models to introduce youth to sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals within the museum framework. During 2022 the museums are invited to hand in their challenges, which will be hacked by the youth teams. The call for the participation for the youth program and the hackathon will be announced in March 2022. Shortly before the hackathon in August 2022 there will be workshops provided by different experts from the sustainability, museum and innovations sectors. After the hackathons the three winning projects will be implemented within the museums. During the autumns of 2022 till the autumn of 2023 museums together with the help of the youth teams will implement the idea and report on the result. At the end of the program the toolbox on creating educational methods for youth on sustainability and SDG’s based on the practices of the three pilot projects will be presented.
NDPC is looking for museums and exhibition halls wanting to face the challenges of sustainability in collaboration with young audiences. Applicants are welcome to hand in their sustainability challenges until 25 February. The call is open to museums working in one or more of the Northern Dimension partner countries: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.More information about the Open Call can be found here.
The programme Northern Dimension Youth and Museums for Sustainability is a part of the joint project between Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture and European Union National Institutes for Culture “Support to the NDPC”, co-funded by the European Commission.
