Co-OPERAtive: An intercultural and collaborative opera hub for young people

Intercultural opera hub for a mixed group of 30 Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 14-18 from across Attica

In collaboration with Kinoniko EKAV and European Expression

The established intercultural opera hub for teenagers Co-OPERAtive returns for a fourth year. The programme, awarded the 2019 Fedora Education Prize, draws inspiration from opera and foregrounds the importance of interculturalism in art as a factor that facilitates artistic creation and bridges cultural differences. The participants in the mixed group of the 30 young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 14 to 18 will be urged to produce their own ideas, express themselves artistically, and pit themselves against the creative process of making a music theatre work, which they will then be called upon to present on the GNO Alternative Stage in May 2024.
