Final Event 23th May

On Thursday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 13.00 CET MEET Digital Culture Center, in Milan, will host the Final Event of AugE 2nd: a hybrid event onsite and online.

It’s a unique opportunity for exchange and sharing among young people, artists, activists (and artivists!), where the results achieved in over a year of joint reflections on the main global challenges of the future and contemporary times will be shared, ranging from democracy to climate change, from future jobs to artificial intelligence, from diversity to inclusion.

After over a year of Artathon events, moments of exchange and co-design, both in person in the cities of Milan, Riga, Berlin, Barcelona, and Gdansk and in hybrid mode in the MEETverse (MEET’s metaverse), we will meet on May 23 for one last gathering. During these intense days of joint design, divided between plenary sessions and group work, young people under 30 have worked to develop visions and actions that will inspire future ways of living together, shaping an idea of a more inclusive, green, and interconnected future.

In addition to the AugE community, winners of the five Artathons and our international partners will be present at the Final Event at MEET: Public Art Lab from Berlin, RICX from Riga, Espronceda from Barcelona, and the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art from Gdansk.

We look forward to celebrating the conclusion of the project together!

AUGE 2nd

AUGE 2nd is aimed at involving European youngsters, actively and through digital media – to shape the future of Europe. They will be supported by young “artivists” (artists that are also activists) to shape new ideas to boost visions, dreams, actions that will inspire and guide future ways of living together in Europe in a more sustainable, inclusive and beautiful way.
